The weight of anything is (mass) x (gravity in the place where the thing is).

             Gravity on Earth is about 9.8 newtons per kilogram, so on Earth,
             the weight of the book is

                          (2.06 kg) x (9.8 N/kg) = 20.19 newtons .


Another way to get around it is:  

               On Earth, 1 kg of mass weighs about 2.205 pounds, so on earth,
               the weight of the book is

                         (2.06 kg) x (2.205 pounds/kg) = 4.54 pounds .
