Dismissing my earlier post about the weight of the Nook in such a flippant way would be the wrong thing to do.
Nor would I use a PocketBook, I find 0 value in them for only $20 more dollars I get a larger screen, color touch screen navigation, color book cover art, wireless downloading via wi fi or 3G, instore features and a much better bookstore platform.

But that's not my point, I don't want to make this into a "Mine is better than your's" I'm sure you love your Pocketbook as much I love my Nook. And everyone has their own reasons why they buy their particular brand.

But you make it sound like the Nook weighs 10 lbs. sure the pocketbook is light but seriously to imply you wouldn't buy a product because it weighed 12 oz is a little absurd dont you think?

I'm assuming since you are on this forum you love reading And what did you read until you bought an e-reader? Books right?, hard cover, paperbacks, tradepaperbacks. Was life an unbearable mess? Did the 6oz Pocketbook ease all the pains in your life and are now able to enjoy reading?

I'm sorry for being a little snarky but seriously 120z's is too heavy, weighs a ton? It weighs as much as a standard Trade Paperback. We all read hardcover's throughout our lives that weighed in at around a pound and in some cases even more some close to 2lbs and 12oz is heavy?
