So as long as they are only offering it with the obligatory leather charging cover, I will not look at getting one.
And, of course, my Paperwhite is still awesome for reading...

Off topic:
Leather that is mummified, I doubt anybody would want that. Leather is actually rather the oppositie of mummifed, as it's not dried up and shriveled. To make leather, you actually need to replace the water with fat [or whatever substance they use these days] so it'll stay pliable.

My answer to the poll: no, nope, nada. Too little to offer for this price. They made some design choices that we* don't like, such as the small battery in the reader itself and the fact that it's not waterproof. Those choices combined with the price is an absolute no.
