A certain love for comparing apples and oranges?

What is the weight of a Forma in a sleep cover? For mine, the scale says 328g in it's Kobo sleep cover. Again, a lot less than a hardcover and most paperbacks in my collection. and 74g less than my Sage (2.61 ounces for those who don't handle metric conversions internally). Which also lets me know the Sage cover is heavier than the Forma cover by ~30g which may be why it has lasted better.

Do you also consider the weight of a Sage without it's cover at 241g as being massively heavier than a Forma at 197g? Or compare either to my my iPad Pro which clocks in at 682g without it's cover. Or compare reading Stephen King's The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition in it's hardcover edition. Not quite up to the single volume edition of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy but either are handy if you even need a door stop.
