I do nothink you will "lug" a netpc, most of them are less than a Kg. Granted they are heavier that a ebook reader, which typically weigh 1/5 of that.
They are coming up very nicely, with touch screen models already out, if I am not mistaken. Storage is also not a problem, with hard disks in the range of 100 Gb already available.
If you want audiobooks, they could be quite big, then you might really need an expansion card capability, which can accept also big cards.
Can' t help with those kind of ebooks, though, I never use them.
One word of advice, though. Always buy some sort of cover, whatevere you buy. These devices are not really fragile, but you do not want to risk scratching the screen, or even worse, breaking it when you carry it around in your luggage or purse.
Cheers.
