The ebook reader reviews mention about the larger screen category of ebook readers like Nook Color which is having 7 inch screen and weight wise it is nearly one pound weighing 15.8 ounces. In this category 7 inch Android Tablet model is also available.
The still larger screen can be found in Kindle DX, which is having nearly 10 inch screen besides Apple iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tablet having 10.1 inch screen size.
Nevertheless these big and beautiful screens have a repelling high price factor and are having more weight to be comfortably held in hands.
But when the bug screen readers are compared with the laptops, they win over considering the weight factor. All these big screen readers weight ranges between 1.2 and 1.4 pounds. On the contrary the laptops are kept on the table or in the lap.
The drawback with big screen readers is that after spending 45 minutes reading the arms and fingers get tired due to their heavier weight.
