Bookstooge has the 1st gen Oasis, which is a lot lighter than the 7'' Oasis. Besides, people are different. I certainly noticed the weight difference between the Nook and my other ereaders, including the 7'' Oasis. The Nook is almost too heavy for me. If a person is sensitive to the weight of an ereader, then the weight of the Nook should not be ignored.
That said, it's of course possible to get used to the extra weight. I did. But again, people are different.
