It seems that the Ipad has an advantage over the Android 10.1 and Nook tablets for ebook reading. Only issue with Ipad is that I have a catalog software for my ebooks that only runs in Windows, so a Windows tablet would be preferrable.
Also, there seems to be a rumor of an upcoming 13in Ipad in 2014.

Yes, I read extensively about it. Currently the ASUS AIO and the Dell XPS AIO are the strongest candidates for what I want. Portability is not that much of an issue as I would be using it at home only, plus when I study textbooks I would be using the tablet on a table so weight is not a concern.
These are the first products of their kind and I'm not very fond of buying first gen tech, so maybe it's worth waiting a year or two until they become lighter, better and cheaper.
