That's what I just did, though I bought a used Tablet PC rather than a new one. Love my Sony Reader, but PDFs just don't work very well on them, especially ones that don't rescale well.
I have used the PDF to LRF converters and they work quite well (with new, non-image PDFs), but I still couldn't mark them up, add comments, etc. Many of the PDFs are images of pages from old books (as in way old - some are 18th century), and the converters don't work as well (at least on the ones I've tried). So I bought an old Fujitsu ST 4110 Tablet PC off ebay and so far (just received it), I like it.
It is, as Wayspooled says, heavier than you'd think. I have a pillow book rest that I'm hoping will work with it. I have a lot of research PDFs to read and I really wanted something I could read while not having to sit at my main computer.
The Sony Reader is still tops for reading fiction, though. Light, easy to read, and with a battery that lasts a long long time - it can't be beat!
