AlphaSmart 3000 owner here. Thanks so much to you and the AlphaSmart team for truly great product. To this day, I hold the AlphaSmart 3000 as the gold standard on what battery life (500 hours on a couple of AAs) in a truly mobile device should be.
FWIW, I'd buy a modern version in a heartbeat, where modern for me would be (echoing other comments on this):
* Better sync (mobile device (iOS, Android), computer, cloud)
* E-Ink Display (80 col min width, length maybe 10 lines max or so, think iA Writer with its focus on the current line)
* Same battery life as 3000
* Quieter keyboard
* Thinner, but just as rugged
* Markdown support with org-mode style table editing
Added developer friendly mods nice to have would be:
* Emacs or VIM motion support
* Swap caps/control keys
