The Sony came in at 350g and the Nexus 7 at a whopping 500g.
I think Apple has some leeway there with weight.

Curious, do you read single-handed? One reason I didn't get a folio-type case for my Nexus 7 is because its base weight (~350g) is pretty much my hard limit for single-handed operation. I've got a Nook Color (~450g) and it's already in the realm of what I'd consider too heavy.
Ideally, I'd like something that weighs the same as my PRS-350 (lighter is also good). I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
