But I have two different models of 10.3″ eink and they are too big and heavy to read ordinary novels on. I think 7″ to 8″ is far better. The Scribe will only be suitable (like all 10" screens) dor PDFs, fixed layout text books and comics in two page spreads (in landscape), not regular ebooks, whether native or converted.
The weight of the Kindle Scribe (sans cover) is 0.95lbs (roughly). The weight of the hardcover of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is 2.4lbs.With a cover, I don't see the Scribe being heavier then 2.4lbs. I did not find the Harry Potter hardcover to be too heavy. So I doubt the Scribe would be too heavy. Heck the iPad I have is 1.44lbs and the Scribe is lighter. And once I do get a new iPad (someday), it's still going to be heavier. The size is subjective, but the weight is not too heavy.
