One of the main reasons I'm going Kindle rather than iPad (after the massive price difference of course) is that the iPad is too heavy to reasonably use for reading.

Yes for me it does definitely increase the weight significantly and I read with the Kindle propped on my lap. If I had to hold it up with one hand and read, that would be too heavy.
If it's lightness you want then I would wait and look at other cover options and consider a clip on light.
Other people have remarked that the lighted cover isn't much heavier than the unlighted version. This may be so but it is a very thick and sturdy cover regardless so might not be good if you want to capitalise on the lightness of the Kindle.
