I had a couple uninterrupted hours to read on a plane this week, and I found the PW2 getting heavy. Not sure if this is because of the cover, or if I'm just getting old (maybe both) but I don't remember thinking this with the Kobo Touch. I just checked the website, and it is heavier, but not a lot. Does anyone else feel the weight of the PW2 after a while? |
I read the PW2 is heavier than the PW1 on several review sites though the weight does not specify that.
I guess they changed something.
If you want a truly light travel reader the Kindle Basic weighs nothing. Well it weighs something but you really can't tell it's so light! The Kindle Fire HDX feels lighter than a PW with sleep cover which is funny because the specs say 11 ounces but it's so thin you wouldn't even know it. The Origami case on the HDX weighs a ton! I bought a different case and the weight change from it is amazing! My two heaviest Kindles are the Kindle Keyboard and the Original Kindle Fire.
