Without commenting on the subjectivity of "heaviness" regardless of actual weight, I'd just mention that the iPad does not weigh by itself three pounds. The iPad's specs are:
1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) Wi-Fi model;
1.6 pounds (0.73 kg) Wi-Fi + 3G model
As mentioned in this thread, that's about the weight of a four-hundred page hardback novel (I measured a couple of them).
Cheers,
