Depending on what you mean by "Office support" and how much you plan to use PDFs, it looks like a tablet is what you need. Many people are perfectly happy also reading books on them (while others don't like it much or get a headache or eye strain - this is highly personal though).
Any decent current Android-based tablet (including the Kindle Fires) should fit your needs, I'd think, but I don't really know which apps can easily be installed on the store-branded (Amazon and Kobo) ones.

Thank you! Basically, I think I should decide between an E-ink and keep it reading only or getting a tablet for a more "multitasking" device.
Any recomendation for an E-ink model?
