And by light I mean suitable for reading in bed. The 17" laptop I'm typing on now weighs about 150 lbs (or at least feels that way) and bets screaming hot without good ventilation. The mini has a SSD so it doesn't get hot unless it's charging and it has a battery life of about six hours. I'd love to have a reader for it, but sadly it doesn't exist that I know of.
