Is it heavier than the Forma? Sure. Is it hard to hold single handed? No, it's actually comparable to a previous Kobo device, which people had no issue holding single handed.

The weight is also largely tied to the mobius substrate Zod mentioned.
I don't think that is enough to explain the difference. The Mobius substrate itself is not enough to explain how light the Forma is. Unless they reduced the support around the screen as they didn't need the device to be as stiff. But, I don't remember the Forma being flexible.
