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.
Here are the weights per my postal scale:

Weight with Amazon covers:

KFHDX 2013 - 1 lb. 0.0 oz.
KFHD 2012 - 1 lb. 2.2 oz.
PW 2013 - 11.3 oz.
PW 2012 - 11.2 oz.
