Good plan, if you have no choice but to read PDFs.

I want to buy a tablet device, but I don't know what makes a good tablet device a good e-book reader. I guess having a decent sized screen is important?
You might think so, but I've been surprised by my iPad Mini Retina. Because of the terrific resolution and my myopic eyes, I can read tiny text just fine. Your eyesight may vary; I suspect the average person would prefer a full-sized tablet. Whatever you are thinking after your research, do please get hands and eyes on before you make a final decision.

This depends more on the app you use, rather than on the exact tablet. I don't use highlights/annotations extensively, but those that do often seem to recommend my preferred PDF reader app, Goodreader. You can read a bit about the highlighting features here:

Hopefully some others who are more experienced with these features might happen along for you.
