If they release a lighter device with smaller battery the folks who want a heavier one can still buy it, and just get a USB battery pack. Heck you might even be able to strap two or three batteries on and rig something up so that they sequentially charge the kobo on demand. You get all the benefits of the new device, a nice hefty ereader, and undoubtedly longer battery life than anything on the market*.
* Assuming you get multiple large capacity batteries of course.
