Because, do you really need a cover when you're holding it in your hands? So while I agree with you 100%, it seems to me that you are using a bit of fuzzy math to equate the price of the original PW and Voyage. I think it is quite clearly $80 more than the original PW no matter how you rationalize it.
I add a book style cover to make it feel more like a book instead of a device. My tablet comes in at 595 grams, and I hold that for hours, so a PW+cover is nothing compared to that. Compared to most hardbacks I still have, the PW+cover is feather light.
