Yeah I was able to compare the Libra H20 (193g) with my Paperwhite (213g). It's a noticeable difference. The Libra 2 is even slightly heavier than the PW (215g). The H20's comparative lightness is much appreciated by me, and for comparison purposes I'm a reasonably strong male with no physical disabilities (only mental ones, so far). So the H20 might offer a really significant advantage for you vs. the Libra 2.

And beyond the weight itself, I just like the weight distribution of the H20, with most of the weight being on the side you're holding. Better center of gravity/mechanical advantage/leverage, etc., for one handed use particularly. I assume the Libra 2, being more uniform in thickness, that the weight distribution will be more uniform also.

Hope that helps :-)
