Come to think of it, I find that I never, ever, hold the iPad in my hand(s) when using it. It's always propped on something, either a table top, a stand, mostly on my knees or on my handbag placed on my knees. It's not specific to the iPad, it's just a habit I have, I do it with books too and with my Opus. I usually have the Opus in my hand when I read, but if at all possible, I will put the hand on something to support it.
This probably explains why I have never really felt that the iPad's weight is a problem. However, for people who are used to hold a book up in their hands for reading, I suppose the iPad must be terribly uncomfortable.
What I was driving at is that just because the weight is not a problem for you, doesn't mean that it can't be a problem for anybody else. It just means that the way you use and hold the iPad makes the weight a non-issue, that's all.
