Why is a 300g e-reader tiresomely heavy, when an average paperback is almost 50% heavier?
Just curious. |
Not sure if this is an issue for anyone else but when I'm reading a deadtree book, I tend to use both hands whereas I hold my ereader in one hand. OTOH, the hardcover I'm currently reading (1636: The Chronicles of Dr. Gribbleflotz) weighs in at 624g while my H2O in it's cover weighs 366g (230 g. without the cover).
