I've said this a gazillion times here - I suspect directly to you, before - but I'll say it again. "There's no need.." for YOU.
Lots and lots and lots of people who read ebooks do so because they cannot hold a hardback or trade paperback. Some also even struggle with mass market paperbacks. Lightweight ereaders are a massive accessibility boon.
Saying that there's no need for lightweight ereaders is like saying that there's no need for adjustable font sizes.
