Just for the fun if it I thought I would weigh my 650 with and without cover. It came to 204g without and an even 300g with the official cover which is about as sleek and light as you can get in a cover. So it essentially increased the weight by 50%. When I get my new big Kobo Aura it will still be 60g lighter than a 650 with a cover. I toss (well not literally) in my shoulder bag when I'm not using it and it sits in there with my sunglasses case, phone, ear phones and other odds and ends. This is what my reader looks like after one year of that.
I feel kind of stupid for paying the $40 on top of the $229 the 650 cost at the time.
