Putting aside the org mode aspect for the moment, I highly recommend the
reMarkable [1] tablet for reading PDF documents.  I have owned one for
several years now and use it all the time (in particular for reading 300
pages theses on the train...).  I do not use org mode on it, however.

For Emacs, some people have hacked the reMarkable.  I have not tried any
of the hacks but the Parabola initiative [2] seems the most advanced.

HTH,
eric
