All of Apple's iPads - including the basic, 10.2-inch model - now support the Apple Pencil for precise note-taking and annotation.
What I'm getting at is that, if you're dead set on using something like a tablet to read and annotate your texts, go with the biggest thing you can. The caveat? Turns out that trying to skim through incredibly dry, dense writing on a screen the size of a small paperback was the one of the stupider ideas I've ever had. When I was in college, I once tried to get through a finance class with a digital textbook saved on a second-generation Kindle because it was massively cheaper than a physical copy. Meanwhile, textbook vendors like Chegg have their own e-reader apps, and the quality of their note-taking tools can vary pretty wildly. If you get an e-textbook from, say, Amazon's Kindle platform, expect to work with more limited annotation tools.
I'm assuming (or just hoping) you've managed to get some of your textbooks in PDF form - those are the easiest to mark up with the right software. Weigh in with your advice in the comments - and feel free to send your own questions along to is the best e-reader or tablet to view, read and annotate textbooks on?
