For the size of the device I do not feel that it's too heavy. I went from a 6 inch Ezreader to the Kindle DXG and the while at first the weight of it was a bit noticeable I adjusted to it easily. I take it with me everywhere I go, although I do not use public transportation. My oldest son has endless medical appointments so it's very helpful while we sit in waiting rooms. I bought the DX stand for it while I am at home, so I just place in there and lay in bed to read. As far as outdoors goes the weight doesn't bother me at all. We do a lot of hiking at camping and it fits nicely into my backpack with out adding noticeable weight to it.
