Ione I would personally stay away from iBooks, both G3 and G4. They have a high failure rate, something I can vouch for.
I would go for an early PowerBook G4. You get the professional edge of the PowerBook, a large widescreen. If you are upgrading from a Pismo go for a 550Mhz G4 PowerBook or up. A Titanium would suit your needs.
