The Nexus 7.2 feels like I am holding a eReader instead of a tablet that could be because my other tablet was shape and felt like a brick.
The Kindle Fire First Generation weighs 14 ounces! The Nexus 7.2 only weighs 10.23 ounces and HDX 7 weighs 10.7 ounces so that should give you an idea of the change.
And for comparison, the Nook HD is 11.11 oz. My KF HD 2012 is 13.9 oz and has that extremely wide bezel. I never read on it, I use it for flip board, web browsing, etc. The Nook, I read on. It is 243 PPI. So you really think the Nexus 7.2 is going to be that noticeable of a difference?
