Weight/balance of Nook and one-handed reading
Does anyone find the Nook's balance to be sub-optimal for one-handed reading?

I've used both a Sony 600 and the Nook, and while the weight differential is not great (both with covers) (the Nook feels only slightly heavier), the weight distribution of the Sony makes it much easier to hold for extended one-hand reading. I suspect it is because the Nook is a few inches longer, providing a longer lever arm.
