LOL, did a bit of backpacking myself and yeah weight is a big deal. But I considered more of the choice of what items to bring, rather than minimizing the weight of the items I chose. So 3/4 ounces would not have made a difference to me. But I would say, even if it were not lighter, I would go with the Nook simply because of the SD slot and the larger screen.
