Yes, iPad2 is significantly lighter than iPad1 and you definitely feel it. Still, after some times I simply get tired of holding it. For extended periods, I still by far prefer Kindle DXG, iRex 800 and the likes.
I don't have any problems with the glare of iPad2 though.

I never actually hold the ipad. When I grab the iPad for reading, I also grab a throw pillow for propping it up on my lap. I use a case that has a built in stand so I always use my iPad in landscape mode.

It's not even close! The reason I bought the iPad was to fill in for the now vaporware Kno reader that I pre-ordered. That 14" screen tablet was 2.5 lbs which was a feather next to the 7 lb book that drove me in that direction. Textbooks are cumbersome; tablets are intuitive.
