Including a integrated cover also limits the devices market. Covers can be very cheap and are quite personal so forcing a buyer to pay for a cover they may not want is counter productive.
Sony seem to be on a different wavelength to what people want and long term their market will shrink even further. For those of us who started with Sony ereaders it's all quite sad.

I say hate because most people talks without even doing a quick search for specs or price, so it's immotivated.
By 'different direction' you mean it has no integrated light, because it's the only difference that really matters, as far as i'm concerned. In my opinion, the lighting thing is more of a marketing move, not something that i really need for reading, it washes out the screen's sparpness and I have a bedlight for reading.
You do have a point on the cover (though personally I just need some means of encasing the device when traveling and I don't feel the need to personalize the cover).
As for 'more expensive', the price is the same as the new Kindle's.
