Besides Alphasmart - your best bet would be a palm PDA (as mentioned) connected to an extendable keyboard (a keyboard that extends out to fullsize and plugs in the bottom).
While in my field, there is not much call to go to the library (all our journals are electronic) - I can take notes and input references into the palm version of endnote (EndNote | The best reference management tool). I go home and synch it and poof! it's all on my PC.
Let me have a think I may come up with an option that better suits you....

Eureka!
How about this suggestion - taking in the best of both worlds!
You buy...
shortened link
and a pad of paper.
You then scan in the pages and the OCR software turns it into computer text.
all for less than 25 quid plus you can scan pictures from books and the like.

Why it's magic - my idea was so amazing the link even corrected itself...it's wonderful to be me!
(joking aside - did that link misform the screen at lower resolutions? It looks fine at 1024*768)
