The German E-Reader Store (the one that only seems to sell Onyx readers) is the only one selling the cover; and only in a bundle at that. I have been unable to find anything else.

The cover is what making me doubt; I really don't like it.

Regarding the device itself; if a reading app is installed, along with Calibre companion, don't you have three libraries? One of the device itself (the home screen), Calibre Companion, and that of the reading app itself? That could be fairly confusing.

Maybe it would be best to install the "other" T68 firmware, if possible (the one without the Polish store and TTS), root it to remove what can be removed, and replace the default home screen with Nova Launcher, which I use on my phone and tablet. Then disable everything I don't need. Then it would be a clean Android 'tablet.'
I bought from the German store and the cover is similar to the Amazon Paperwhite covers, supporting sleep etc. Henry Ford's choice of colours (black only) at the moment. I suspect that in a few weeks obtaining covers won't be a problem.

The Library is not a problem. I have set mine up so that all books are stored in the default Books folder. These books show in the library, and you can select and easily change your default reader. You can of course use each applications own library management, though this would seem to be fairly pointless unless you have some very specific reason.

The "other" firmware comes with TTS but the engine is Pico. I believe the Polish store installs Ivona, as I have now done through Google Play.
