The Kobo Glo at 185g is very comfortable for me to hold even for long periods, I have no complaints about weight at all. Although it's 30g heavier than my Sony PRS-350 (155g), I have to consider it also includes the light, so with the case it probably comes up the same. Surprisingly the PW2 at 206g is the heaviest, but I don't really use it other than the monthly free book offer through Prime.

When I have to read PDFs though on a 7" Asus tablet at 302g, that gets annoying where I have to use only certain positions to hold it because the weight is definitely a comfort factor, it can be uncomfortable to hold for longer periods.

I'm pretty happy with the overall weight of ereaders right now. Not sure how they can go much lighter without giving up the long battery life, and that's a compromise I wouldn't want to make... less weight for less battery time.
