For my PhD, I used GoodReader on an Apple iPad. GoodReader can sync directly with Dropbox, so you have the same papers on PC/Mac and iPad. GoodReader also supports a wide range of annotations. The iPad might cost you more, but you can do more with it than something that is just a reader.
You should be able to get academic discount on the purchase price and (I think) reduced/free AppleCare. Alternatively, buy from John Lewis where you get free extended warranty.
