I think it is less about the weight and more about the balance. I did not like reading my DXG naked, it felt wrong. Once I added the cover, it felt fine. I prefer the weight of the K3 but love the larger reading space on the DXG.
I think this is true for most of the ereaders. There are people who feel that the Nook, Kobo, Sony, Kindle, Powerbook, whatever ereader feels just right and the others feel wrong. I think we blame it on the weight because the e-reader feels wrong due to balance and less due to weight.
Obviously, the larger DXG does weigh more then most e-readers and its heaviness could be problematic for some folks. If you Mom is comfortable with a hardback book or a heavy journal than I don't think that the weight will be problematic for her.
