So I know this question has been asked before but as the market is constantly changing I will post again. I am an academic and I spend a lot of time annotating PDFs. I need an e-reader, or possibly a tablet, that will let me take in text notes on a PDF using a stylus, highlight text, and flag sections. I really just want to do the same things you can do to a piece of paper but in digital format. I would like it also to have the ability to do some web browsing but its not necessary.

My research has shown me that people generally recommend an iPad. I would prefer something smaller and cheaper. I won't be playing games or browsing facebook so the $300+ price tag is a little steep. I know Kindle supports PDFs but I do not think that the e-reader comes with stylus capabilities. Recommendations?
