Too heavy?

How heavy is your e-reader? I have a Kindle Fire that I use to read and it really wrecks my wrists/hand because it's just too heavy. I considered getting a lighter e-reader, but didn't want to spend the money.

I have a Kindle Fire as well. It does feel a little bit heavier than the physical books I have around. The only exception is the few illustrated copies I have of the Harry Potter books 1 through 5 and the illustrated copy of Eragon). Those weigh more than my Kindle.

I don't think I'd switch my Kindle Fire out for another e-reader or tablet.....not unless this one decides to kick the bucket for some unknown reason.

But I see your point. I can understand getting one that is lighter and won't hurt your wrists.
