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.

The bundles *are* better if you were always planning to buy a cover anyway. I've never bought a Kindle without one: I wouldn't feel safe going outside with one in a country as rainy as the UK otherwise. (Yes, yes, a waterproof Kindle would have fixed this, as would a jewel-encrusted pony. But a waterproof Kindle can't save you if you drop the damn thing in mud. A cover *has* saved me in that situation before.)
Of course, Amazon's covers are hardly ideal -- the PW1's cover had a tendency to flip open as the thing fell, and the Oasis's cover only covers half the back -- but it's a lot better than no cover at all.
