My Kobo Aura H2O 1st gen weights 12.5oz with the case. That's heavier then the Kobo Libra H20 and the Kobo Forma. I don't find it too heavy to hold with one hand. And given that the new Readers are lighter, I don't see it as a problem.

Try laying down like you normally do and hold something that weighs a1lb or so and see how you get on holding it. If you find you can hold it, then you'll be able to hold any current Kobo.

With the cover your Oasis weighs 8.47oz. The Kobo Libra with a lightweight case is 11.6oz. The Kobo Forma with lightweight case is 11.1oz. So your talking about a 3oz difference. I don't see this as an issue.
