Something with a real big screen will certainly be best... but they are also very expensive.
I send my Kindle pdf's of journal articles all the time, and as long as they aren't too old (meaning the text is clear and OCR'd) the Kindle does a great job with them.
But not always.
Aside from a big screen, given the vagaries of JSTOR and such... there's not a lot of GOOD options. But some have good PDF options - I imagine they are about the same as the Kindle's, but I don't know.
The only other reason I'd suggest a Kindle is that it has, by far, the largest academic selection of books available. I read a lot of non-fiction and the other stores really drop the ball there.
Classics, of course, are available for all devices via the many online sources.
