Johannes Haupt was invited to the German Amazon Headquarters and wrote a very interesting review : http://www.lesen.net/ereader/kindle-...e-video-25921/

I quote him
Quote:
Das 107 Gramm wiegende Cover hat keine eigene Ladebuchse, es wird direkt über den eBook Reader geladen.
Translation : The 107 gramms Cover does not have its own charger port, it is charged through the Ebook Reader itself.

This phrase appears 4 lines before the video on his website which I have linked. Lesen.net is a reknown e-reading website in German, and Johannes always works very thoroughly. It would be the first time I catch him making a mistake, and I doubt this very much.

There is a good video also, made while Johannes was sitting with Amazon employees and presenting the Oasis in German. Johannes shows the three covers well, and there is no usb port indeed to be seen (I've watched it 3 times).

Unless the European Version is not the same as the US one, I'd say no usb port on the cover.
