Personally this is one place a netbook fits well. Just add One Million recipes
http://www.acrllc.com/onemillion.php, also available from Packard Technologies for PC's and PDA (mobi format). The PC version even includes calorie and nutrition data like the ones on the side of the box (formatted the same way). And you can enter you own recipes. My wife keeps her netbook in the kitchen and always handy for lots of tasks including eBooks.
