I'm not sure, but it feels a bit heavier than the Kindle Paperwhite 1.
I had wanted another 10-15% of weight reduction the least!
I can imagine why the Voyage gets so good reviews, as they're on the mark from weight perspective.

The difference in screen area (and therefore proportionally volume for an equal thickness device) from 6" to 6.8" is just a hair under 30% so perhaps you need to factor that in when comparing weight between a 6" kindle and a 6.8" kobo....
In fact, looking at dimensions the Voyage is 60% smaller than the H2O as far as volume is concerned. As the voyage is 180g to the H20's 233g, thats a 30% increase in weight for a 60% increase in size. Not bad
