I thought for sure that would be the case. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see exactly how much heavier my iPad was, I weighed it and realised that my iPad 1 wifi with Yoobao case is 2.2lbs in total. That might explain why it feels heavier than I had anticipated.
I also weighed my Sony 650 w/ Sony case and was surprised that the reader w/ case came in just over 10 oz. No wonder it feels like a feather.

If the iPad 1 is 1.5 lbs w/ a 9.7" screen, I'd assume that the 7" Cruz probably is about a pound. A class mate showed me her Nook the other day and I was surprised at how heavy it was. I'm sure it's all battery weight to power the LCD screen.
