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.
Which "people"? We don't all have non-arthritic hands, and anyone who reads this forum with any regularity knows damn well that there are plenty of us here who find the glass-substrate devices heavy. My H2O is too heavy for me, especially because I'm not comfortable using it without a case, which adds more weight again. I've vacillated on buying a Forma, but really hoped they would fix the power button in the next revision and/or - my most fervent wish - bring out a flexible-substrate superlight 6.8 or 7 inch device. Instead they've gone ever larger and heavier, back to glass.

I recognise that it's not too heavy _for you_. Please don't pretend that that means it's just fine for everyone.
