Perhaps it's just me, but the weight is the least important factor about an eReader. Especially when the other specs seem to outweigh that little "flaw". |

I agree with you. Weight is a very minor consideration for me, compared to specification and firmware features. All the modern reading devices are lightweight compared to a hardback book.

Weight will be a factor for me, as i will eventually hold it one handed.
There's a reason I never bought hardbacks. I can't figure out poketbook interface, i'm used to bookeen's, though it have it flaw. And being in France, it's easier to find as well. |

Actually I wonder what the final weight will really be. This unit is just like the color lux except that the screen is monochrome. the color lux claims to be 300g with a bigger battery.
