While a bit different, this is also true on bikes. Putting more weight to the bottom or center, will change the whole dynamics of the bike. This is what we call center of gravity.

I find myself more comfortable holding the Kindle Fire than the new Nook Tablet. Because the Nook Tablet is more rectangular than square, it tends to push down when I hold. The Fire is more neutral on than regard. And the Nook Tablet is less heavy and thinner.

Of course, your hand's size and strength plays an important role too.
I have small hands so it plays a big factor for me. The Kindle Fire I can hold comfortably. The K3 not so much due to its design. The K4 I can hold just fine but not turn the pages unless I use my case with it.

Until you held a Kindle Fire you just won't understand how nice it is to hold.
