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!

I'm sorry if 15.8 oz's is heavy than maybe you should be seeing a Dr. this goes beyond milk and the gym.
Yes I do own a nook color and have had at it for since November a bit longer than a week to get a real feel for reading and playing on it.
I agree with you that yes the nook color is heavier than the kindle or even the nook classic.
can you answer this honestly? Did reading small hardcover books become an unbearable chore to you before you bought an ereader?
You can't make claims that reading on something is impossible now, since we have something that is lighter available.
I did most of my reading on hardcover in the past, and guess what, a lighter paperbook was usually an option as well. I didn't find the reading experience all of a sudden more glorified on a paperback because it was smaller and light in fact quite the opposite. I enjoyed the better contrast on hardcover, the large page.
I mean are you saying you never enjoyed reading and never had a good reading experience when you read a hardcover? Really?
Again Reality Check the nook color weighs 15.8 oz. a standard 400+ hardcover weighs over 2lbs.
Now if don't like using a tablet style ereader for you reading than that's cool. It's your eyes your money. But this may come as a bit of a shock to you but reading on an LCD screen does not affect everyone the way it affects you. And also 15.8oz, just really isn't all that heavy. Now it may be to you and you'll stikc with your Kindle, and that's all Kool and The Gang.
Your likes and your habits are just that
YOUR likes and habits. I think you would find less of these side tracked threads if you posted more "IMHO's" or "I think" or " I personally prefer" etc. instead of passing off your opinons as facts.
just sayin.
