The Amazon Leather cover for the K4 is way lighter than the K4 itself. I don't have a postage scale to weigh them on, but I estimate that the cover is no more than half the weight of the K4, so it does not add a noticeable amount of weight to the K4 . By comparison, the Marware cover I got weighs about the same as the K4, or appx. twice the weight of this Amazon cover.
Interesting. I wonder if they were able to get the weight of the newer lighted cases down any. If I do end up getting the touch I know I want a lighted case so that I do not have to worry about keeping track of a book light.

Thank you for the info, BTW.
