One of the owners mentioned he/she also doubted the 7 ounces. Can someone please weigh the device. If I decide to buy this it's only because of its weight (7 ounces) ... if the plastic looks cheap or it quirks a little bit, it is not *that* responsive to touch etc. (even Android 1.5! No Kindle? ) are secondary to me on this device I mainly want a dimmable lcd to read in bed (sometimes 3 or 4 hours holding the device with one hand of course) so the weight is very important for me.
On my digital scale the Libre Touch is 11.85 oz. (335 grams). Personally, I don't find the weight to be an issue for reading or travelling.
