Used to be I also carried 5 or more manga volumes in my backpack. Now I can carry hundreds of them plus hundreds more of ebooks in a fraction of the volume and weight. I much prefer the situation now compared to before. Just because we've acclimated to something doesn't mean it's ideal.
Besides, the additional weight isn't all that negligible. In the Kindle's case, covers often add ~50% the weight of the device.

How is an additional 4.5oz a big deal? Yes a case will add weight. But in most cases it's negligible.
A 460 page MMPB is 1lb2oz. So a weight 11.1oz is a lot lighter then your average pBook. And if you have a problem with an 11.1oz Reader, get an origami case and use it as a stand to alleviate the weight.
