1. Preference for e-ink was stated several times.
2. Ipads (except for the Pro series) do not properly support handwriting with a stylus. Again, this was a requirement that was clearly stated.
3. Android tablets with stylus support (I mentioned a few above) are cheaper than the Ipad Pro, without ANY disadvantages whatsoever when it comes to pdf support. Case in point: Ipad Pro 10-inch: $650, Samsung Galaxy Tab with S-Pen: $350.
4. Good Android tablets without stylus support are much cheaper than a non-Pro Ipad and again provide the same functionality, with dozens of pdf readers available from the Play store. But again, this is not what the OP wants.
For what was said in the first post, an iPad is the best solution. You don't read PDF textbooks on a Reader that's not 13.3".Plus, the iPad is that much more flexible as you can read any format as long as there's an app for it. You have it all wrong.
