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.

Of course, I've read hard cover books and I do have a couple of them really, really heavy, over of 1 thousand pages!

If I could use a Nook Color (which I can't, because there is no landscape for ePub, no option for enlarge images, no good selection of IT books on B&N, lol ... but let's no debate about those) it would be lighter than a regular pbook, you are right about that. But that's deviating the main point of the NC's weight. You can see and read tons of online reviews about different ereaders, not just Kindle or NC, any kind of tablet devices too, they always compare against similar device, not a pbook. C'mon! You know that ...
