Hmmmm.... looking at Kobo 7.8"/8" devices, the Kobo Aura One weighed in at 230 grams while the Kobo Forma (their current 8" device) weighs in at 197 grams.

Are you perchance confusing Kobo with B&N? I couldn't find a Kobo ereader with the weight you quoted.

And lest we forget, the Oasis 2 has a rather small 1,000 mAH battery which helps keep the weight down but costs reading time but then none of the large screen Amazon or Kobo ereaders have the battery life of the smaller models.
