You'll probably be good with the 16gb model then. Apps don't take up too much space, epubs are very small, and only 1 or 2 movies won't be a problem on the 16gb model. I've found that hq iPod video (640x480, 1500kbps) looks great on the iPad and is half the file size of hq iPad movies (720p). I have a lot of episodes of anime on mine (ripped by me from dvds) and each one using hq iPod video settings is 250-350mb (for 22 mins of video). On the other hand, I tried converting a dvd anime episode to hq iPad video and it came out to a little over 700mb... not worth it.
