I thought the same thing and so, I'd wager, did most Kobo customers. It doesn't seem wise to charge a premium and then disappoint if you're a company in need of loyal customers as opposed to, say, a traveling con man in need of gasoline.

$25 is a far more acceptable price for that cover than $50 -- which is $5.00 more than the cost of a Nook Simple Touch with Glow Light.
I agree with you about the Aura HD itself. The firmware's a tad buggy, but the screen's gorgeous, the size is just expansive enough, and I find the user experience to be more stylish and less invasive than that of stock Nooks and Kindles.
Pity about Sony, though.
