I use the "heavy factor" because I've always been under the impression that the mass consumers buy mass market paperbacks, which are light.
and it seems like a 9+ device would just be too heavy...
1. Do you read newspapers, magazines, street maps etc one handed?

2. Wait till presbyopia sets in and you'll appreciate larger fonts on larger screens

3. Not all readers, even "mass" market readers, read solely paperbacks ...
