Exactly. And it's cheaper!

Yep. Nothing gets around the weight of the glass substrate. Most 7.8" eInk eReaders with glass substrate weigh about what the Glowlight weighs, it's the nature of the beast. I don't look at it as that big of a deal, though, as I always considered the Kindle Keyboard comfortable to hold and it weighed almost as much as this new Glowlight Plus.

I think the new Glowlight is a lot more comfortable to hold than the Oasis, even though it's heavier (and again, it's bigger). The Oasis has that sharp edge that digs into my palm while the Nook bezels make for a comfortable hold. I also like having buttons on both sides, as opposed to having to do that awkward flip when changing hands.
I think this Nook is a terrific value myself.
