Would you consider the current Ipad or Samsung 10.1 tablet fit for this?

Yes, definitely, as I said in my previous post; I use my iPad primarily for reading PDF articles from academic journals, and the page is comfortable to read without zooming or scrolling.
The advantage of the iPad is its 4:3 aspect ratio, which is a better closer fit to the shape of an A4/Letter page than the 16:9/16:10 aspect ratio that Android tablets use. This means there's a lot less wasted space around the edge of the page.
