Which E-reader is heaviest?
I mean out of the big four: Kindle 3, Nook Touch, Kobo Touch and Sony 650.

Which do you think is the heaviest and lightest? I checked it out on the mobileread wikis. Here it is. You might be surprised.

In descending order:

Kindle: Weight 8.5 oz. (241 grams)
Sony: Weight: 7.58 oz (215 grams)
Nook Touch:Weight: 7.48 ounces (212g)
Kobo Touch: Weight: 200g

According to this, the Kindle is the heaviest of the lot! I'm very surprised. I assumed the Sony 650 would be heavier because it's made of metal. Hard to believe the plastic Kindle is heavier than the metal Sony. Maybe these figures are wrong?
