You can get a Nook tablet. Or the Kindle Fire, if you like
Amazon's teat. Both can possibly rooted/reflashed with alternative
firmware (in case you're into that kind of thing), in later case 
go with the B&N device.

I have a Nook color with CM7, and a) the display is too small
b) the CPU is too weak for scanned PDFs (djvu less so). 
Regular PDFs work quite well.

I think you need a 10" with paperlike ppi and some four ARM
cores (or really good video acceleration tie-in, which so
far only Apple does) to completely kill paper stone cold
dead.
