Okay 12.6 ounces, so a little over 4 ounces heavier than the Oasis in its case. Personally the bigger screen is not an attraction for me. But I understand folks differ on this, that's why choice is good. If I owned an Oasis I would mostly be reading without the case, so I'm looking 4.6 ounces (less weight than my very small Android smartphone -- a Motorola Admiral). That 4.6 ounces, using a 6" eInk screen, impresses me.
