I have the same feeling. I maybe had too much expectancy because of the 20 months rumour that appeared few days ago. I didn't expect so much but like you I really conceive as possible a cover-battery with a very large capacity. It probably explains my disappointment.

I have absolutely no problem with current battery life. But for the price I would appreciate a battery life of several months (which means ~100 hours reading), and not the same battery life than… Kindle Paperwhite 2.
Currently, the Oasis + cover costs more and weights more for the same battery life. And without cover it has a very attractive weight… but less battery life than a cheap LCD tablet. The "two weeks" battery life is just a marketing unit for "few hours of reading".
