The comparison to physical book weights is accurate, but also somewhat irrelevant in this discussion, don't you think? Of course all e-readers will be more compact than a physical novel, or a stack of them. That's not really the comparison that's going to be going through someone's head if they're buying a flagship e-reading device. I would think we long ago left behind the need to compare e-readers to their physical counterparts in terms of bulk—that battle was won years ago.
I'd make, in fact I feel I did make, the same argument when comparing the weight of the One with the Voyage or Oasis. Yes folks who are looking for an ereader will have weight of the device on their mind, but common sense would tell them a bigger device will weigh more. And while I'll agree common sense isn't what is used to be, I don't think it's fallen quite so far as to have folks think bigger will be lighter.
