I will answer, again, with one of Cialdini's principles (love that author) : Commitment and Consistency.

Users of "X" reader where saying Kindle 3 was too light (obviously, "X" was heavier than Kindle 3 , lol) Now that they are planning to buy "X", or they did, they need to be consistent to what they are doing and saying ...

It is a bit funny though ... but yes, the difference between Nook Touch and Kindle 3 is not as big as Nook Touch vs Classic Nook. It is some way more comfortable to hold than Kindle 3 in my opinion, but depends of the person. My wife was excited until she actually holds one a few days ago in B&N, she said it's uncomfortable when holding that it's too small for her.
