Hmm, is it possible to increase your budget by another $100? There's a sale on the Apple certified refurb store right now and the iPad 4 16GB Wi-Fi is $299. The iPad 2 16GB Wi-Fi is $249. For your target usage, the retina display really helps quite a lot.
I agree with this recommendation. I frequently read vintage comics, magazines, catalogs, etc. that have been scanned into PDF or cbz/cbr formats. The iPad makes a great viewer for that media. Not only from a hardware perspective, but from software as well. There is a terrific selection of high quality apps to choose from.
