All those people who cite the fact that it doesn’t weigh anything as a reason they prefer e-books have just been proven wrong. The Telegraph reports that a computer scientist has explained that the more e-books you download, the heavier your e-reader is. Adding 4GB of e-books to a Kindle will increase its weight by a millionth of a millionth of a gram—the approximate weight of a DNA molecule or a small virus.
He also notes that e-readers could become slightly heavier in the summer, because they take on more energy from their exposure to sunlight.
So there you have it. If your full Kindle has been feeling a teeny bit heavier lately, now you know why.

Meh. The dust settling on the body puts more weight on the Kindle than any of those other things. A difference that is no difference..?
