Which tablet would you recommend for school (to use with e-books, note taking, etc.)?

Just got the book list for grad school and we have more than a dozen required books (and many more "optional" ones) so I'm thinking about going the e-book route. I think a tablet with "write on" capability might be a good for taking notes as well. I also want something that I can attach a keyboard to. So far people have recommended a Surface Pro or iPad Pro. Anyone else have any recommendations?

I have a small Amazon Fire. I can get a ton of apps and I like it a lot. It is very easy to download books as well.

CPT (Join to see) Please research your proposal. I want to recall that students who take handwritten notes recall more of the class discussion. Attempting to copy notes on an electronic device diverts attention from the lecture! Scrawling notes does not.

My kindle is great for books, research, watching movies, audiobooks and can go about anywhere. It even shuts off if I don't turn a page. With that said, my iPad has been my primary means to connect with the world. It's bigger, portable, and can do about everything I want with it. It does not have a separate keyboard but it does have speak to words options. Haven't figured out how to print or fill out some types of forms, I must go to the library for that. It can tune into webinars at various universities to keep up with continuing education requirements for my licensure. FaceTime gives you immediate interaction and other apps allow group conferences.
