I totally agree. RCA1100 that I am using now is the most ergonomically advanced handheld device I have ever seen (and laid my hands on). I have to say again, that extremely light is good for some, but not for all. I don't care about few additional ounces, as long as I have something that feels and operates well, and is damage resistant. There is plenty of light readers on the market for anybody who wants to carry them in their pocket (and I have to wonder about that idea, really... untill we have foldable screens, how practical is 6 inch ereader in your pocket).

Maybe you should come up with one device, in your lineup, that would be less light and more long-term use. Like REB 1100. I am pretty sure you would find your corner in the market. Certainly with me. As it is now, I just am not sure, being already burned on one very light Cybook.
