I think the iPad is extremely heavy for reading. It might be under a kilo, but you are often holding it with one hand at one edge, which makes it effectively heavier because of the distance from the centre of gravity. (In fact, in any kind of use I tend to hold it across my forearm, which makes it a bit easier to handle.) You also need to be able to change pages every now and again, which will often involve the other hand - another inconvenience which also slightly bugs me about the Kobo Touch.
If I'm reading for any length of time - which is highly likely if I'm reading a novel - then I need to change hands and change positions every now and again just to keep comfortable. The weight of the iPad is definitely an issue. If it wasn't they wouldn't keep making it lighter.
