Spent the whole time thinking "I really wish I could have these books on my eReader."

I know for a lot people, a laptop/tablet is an overall better use of the money, but I have a already have a laptop, just can't be bothered to pack it up most of the time unless I know I need it. I basically use it as a desktop computer. I've had tablets, but never ended up using them much, always ends up being an "I can just do this on my phone" situation, or a "It'd be easier to just do this on my laptop" one.

Since I already know I like eink devices with my kobo libra being one of my favorite and most-used gadgets I've owned in recent years, I think I feel safe in investing in something a bit bigger and fancier and pricier now.

I imagine I'll mostly be at a desk or table when note taking rather than holding it, hopefully the size won't be an issue.
Textbooks in PDF should be the reason you look into getting an iPad and not anything Android. iPd has the best app for PDF. GoodReader is the best app for annotating PDF. It's that good that Android should not be a consideration.
