Thanks for all the replies guys!

After some more consideration and asking around I do feel like the iPad would suit my needs very well for PDF reading. I figured it might be better to have easy access to the internet as well since I usually look stuff up while reading. Since I think my brain would get strained faster than my eyes when reading mathematics books I don't think it will be any problem. Normal reading sessions are usually 1-2h and that's with a lot of going back and forth between scribbling formulas down on paper and reading.

Will probably get an e-ink reader for regular books if I ever have time to read them though!

And about e-ink monopoly, that's one example of how patents and the like defeats it's own purpose (innovation) unfortunately.
