An alternative to tablets earlier are PDAs. I bought a Palm m105 back in 2002 and I think it had been out for a couple of years. On the downside, only had 8MB of non-upgradable memory, but on the upside, ran about a month on two AAA batteries. Oh, and it still works, although the capacitor that held a charge long enough to swap batteries burned out after a couple years, resulting in a complete loss of user data when new batteries were put in. Does have an IR port that might allow you to transfer data from one PDA to another.
