Hoping for some guidance on tablets!

Why I want one
I will not be able to physically use keyboards much for the next couple of months and extended use of my phone is a bit unpleasant. I'm thinking that tapping a tablet screen should be a more pleasant experience in the meantime.

OS
Agnostic. If it matters I have an iPhone.

What I will be doing most of the time
- browsing the internet, posting
- streaming video
- playing music (and casting over network)
- games
- reading ebooks (all varieties) + pdfs
- reading manga in apps and via browser

Not particularly concerned about taking photos or video, nor video/music/photo editing.

What would be nice to have but I can live without
Options for a pen thing in the future, particularly for annotating pdfs (sucks SO BAD with just touchscreen controls) and practicing Japanese writing.

Budget:
Not sure! I'll admit I've never considered a tablet as something I would want until now so I'm a little reticent to drop laptop money. Let's say $750 USD or less.
