For what it's worth, my experience with my own 9" reader (weighing around 0.5kg) is that weight is not really an issue. Almost all the time I have the device sitting on my bag (itself on my knees) or on a table. Thanks to the non-LCD screen, viewing angle is not critical at all, so I can easily find a comfortable positioning. There are times when I hold the reader in my hands (e.g., reading while on a crowded bus), but it only happens occasionally.
I would gladly switch to a larger device (accepting a higher weight: say, 1kg). However, a 14" screen is overkill. 12" are sufficient to show A4 pdfs at 100% scale, in conjunction with an on-board cropping option to remove white borders.
