Valid point SCION, but also a very subjective I think.
Studies say that for tablets and ereaders, weight is one of the most important features during the purchase decision. Thinner and lighter, that's what people are looking for and that's exactly what companies are trying to do. Not denying what you're saying, but holding a Kindle for several hours while you read a long novel is something most people like about the device itself.
Now, would be interesting to know what's the reaching point, I mean, what's too thing and what's too light for a tablet or ereader. Because at some point and technology will be so advanced that manufacturing such devices won't be a problem.
