Here are the reasons.
Ergonomic. That will lure in many people.
Cover. Means people won't have to spend more money to get a cover. (Yes, I know but the average consumer will think the cover is free.)
Charging cover: even better. Now no worries about carrying cords around. (Yes, I know you still need a cord to charge the cover, but then we are talking average consumer.)
Oh and more lights.
I forgot these three words will sell many: Extended Battery Life.
So yes, the bundle + ergonomic will sell this thing.
Average consumers are being taught that bundles are better.
So Ergonomic, charging cover, extended battery life, more LEDs will sell it.
Typical consumer won't read the details.

Charging cover is a way to keep the advertised weight down (listed weight is Sans cover) but claim long battery life.
But the other advantage, is the cover can be left charging (and forgotten
) while the reader travels away from the charger
I have a wide (1" wider than the device) cover on my K4NT to enable 1 handed page turns. The wide side seems to address this need. ??Does the UI allow it to be Left Handed??
$290 is not a killer, I paid 200 for my first (5")e-ink reader. Amazon killed off the profitability for most other device suppliers (at least locally).
