If my math is right: a postcard measures 0,01 square meters. At 400gsm that equals 4 grams per postcard. Times 2.000 = 8.000 grams, or 8kg (17.6 pounds)

A6 paper is 1/64 square meter (to within about 0.2%). So we have

2000*(400g/m^2)*(1/64 m^2) = 12500 g (12.5 kg)

I hope this wasn't a homework problem! ;-)
