Can't help you with your ASAP and PDF needs. But I think you're on to something. I am just now also thinking how nice it would be to read Calibre ePub magazines on a tablet style reader. Not the heavier Windows Tablet PC, but an instant-on, light device like the iPad.

Zoomy-fast page turns past boring articles, plus a reduced number of pages. That'll make it possible to read/skim magazines much faster.

Calibre runs on Linux, Windows, and OS X. Just need to find a tablet that runs one of those platforms from the many new offerings, with a form factor we like. I hope there's one out there.

You might want to look at Calibre's magazine offerings. They're especially wonderful because they're free!
