Anyone switch from a Kindle 3 to the Nook Touch (or any of the smaller/lighter latest generation ereaders)? My Kindle still works fine but everyday I get closer and closer to buying a new one because they're a little bit smaller and lighter, and I'm hoping someone can either verify that they are more comfortable or didn't make a noticable difference when reading for a few hours?

Probably sounds stupid, but I often read for at least an hour at night (normally more), and I'm usually on a plane at least once a month for several hours which I usually spend the entire time reading. While the Kindle 3 isn't uncomfortable, I can definitely see something lighter (even those few grams) and without the extra length from the keyboard making a difference over the course of hours of reading. Given how much I read it'd be worth the price as well, just really don't want to go through all the trouble of migrating to a new device just to wipe and return it a few days later if I don't like it.
