People who find lower weight devices more accessible are not people with isolated vision problems. They are people with hand/arm weakness, arthritis or other pain conditions.
I know what the iPad weighs. I own one. And I cannot read books on it for any period of time. YET AGAIN, people who have trouble with devices and books of that higher weight find lighter devices more accessible. I don't know why you so persistently resist the fact that this is an issue for people who are not you. It's really very straightforward to engage in a moment of empathy.
