Well, as I said if you don't mind smaller text and buying a slightly larger bag there are quite a few pretty nice word processors out there, and most of them have either RS232, USB or wireless transfer capability built in. If you're lucky you might even find one with its own bag ;-)

For example there's the NTS Dream Writer series; e.g.:

or the Alphasmarts; e.g.:
