I'm a bit wary about that line if thinking, as it seems that reviewers complaining about smartphone with plastic (or even metal) backs feeling "not premium" enough is what "blessed" us with glass housings on most flagships, making them even harder to repair and easier to break at the same time.
On the other hand, having the device feel massive would seem to run counter to the aim of having a lightweight device for reading, no?
Me, I don't care if the device "feels" cheap, as long as it is light and doesn't break easily, while still allowing me to open it up for, e.g., battery replacement.
