My point is you claimed reading the nook color for hours is not possible because of it's weight. I'm just calling BS on that claim. Jsut because one thing is lighter than the other does not make the other thing heavy.
A 100LB brick is heavy. my pen weighs more than my pencil, that does not make my pen heavy. To you see what I mean? 
For anybody reading this and was curious, it weighs slightly less than 1 lb. the equilvant of a 200 page hardcover. Now if reading a small hardcover book was never an issue in the past, it won't be with this.
I'm just trying to keep things in a little bit of a reality perspective. |
Does not look like you are, of course, you own a Nook Color.
I am trying to compare the weight and how comfortable reading for long sessions is. There is no BS here, like you said. I've done that, my hands and wrist don't lie. The Nook Color is lighter than my fridge at home...so what? You establish how heavy or not a device is when you compare against a similar electronic device.
The purpose of an ereader is provide a comfortable and nice reading experience; weight and screen are two important factors boost or decrease that experience.
So please! Keep enjoying your NC but don't tell me is light!
