Can we have some photos of the new covers please?
And on the Oberon website, I don't see any links to the Sony covers. Last edited by JSWolf; 06-17-2009 at 08:55 AM. |

I am looking forward to these. On the assumption that we are likely to have the same choices as the Kindle users, it will be a Tree of Life in Saddle with corners for me.

I wish they would make a cover with the Ginko leaf design - it's purdy!

The folks at Oberon are great! I queried the availability of the Oberon 505 covers and received this reply from Becca today (Fri, 19 June)...

Well spotted!
The Sony covers are $72 each. Shipping to the UK was $26.50 USPS. This all worked out at roughly £60-65 in the UK. Adding on the expected UK Customs charges to the value of the cover only of (I think) 10% import duty, 15% VAT and £8 re-delivery fee adds on another twenty quid. The rate against the dollar has been climbing steadily the past few weeks so I was pleasantly surprised at how little the cover cost. Now to cross my fingers that the Customs pass it without the extra charges. It *can* happen. EDIT : I should mention that Oberon have done away with the velcro fitting option, trusting to their corner tabs. Last edited by DanielCoffey; 07-01-2009 at 12:52 PM. Reason: extra sentence |

Make that a qualified lowercase yayyy; they don't have the Sony cover in any of my hoped for designs: Celtic Horse, Standing Horse, Western Horse, Running Horses or Ginko. |

Well she did say they hoped to offer the same designs as the Kindle, so maybe they haven't got all the pics up yet - you could email them?
