Sony PRS-505 vs. Kindle1
Weight: Kindle 1: 10.3 ounces
Weight: Sony PRS-505 9 oz
And there it is again: The Kindle is heavier. So sorry

Oddly, the Kindle looks like it got it's design from Sony's first reader that came out in 2004, 3 years ahead of Kindle. It is 6.7 oz and 10.6 oz with 4 AAA alkaline batteries. Of course now we have lithium AAA batteries, so it would be lighter even with standard removable batteries. Even Sony's next one, the PRS-500 was only 9 oz. and that's when they started making them out of aluminum. I think the 650 feels ridiculously light. I was surprised at how light it was when I took it out of the box.
2006 Sony 500 & 2008 Sony 505. The Kindle 1 was released in 2007. The Kindle 2 came out 2 years after the 505.
For size comparison. Kindle has always been the largest in size for a 6" reader. Even larger than the original reader, Sony's Librie.
