What everyone has implied here is the little battery charges the big battery.
The manual says if you have the usb in the kindle while on the charging cover, the kindle will get charged first.
It also says that the cover charges the kindle when not plugged in with a USB cord.
Nowhere in the manual does it say the kindle charges the cover.
If the cover does not have a charging port to get power without the kindle then it cannot be called a charging cover.
By the way, I have never seen a battery charger say it has a in port, but yet everyone of them do.
How is a 250 mAh battery going to charge a bigger battery?
It is impossible.
I would bet a $10 Amazon gift card that there is a port in the charging cover.

Lesen.net has always been very thorough in their reviews and Johannes specifically wrote, and I am quoting him

in his review

I speak fluently German (as in my husband is German, my kids are German, and it is our household language, so there is no translation mistake), and this translates to :
The 107g cover does not have its own charging port, it is charged through the ebook reader.
Johannes has never written BS in his reviews. The video is very clear: no charging port on the cover he has. So unless the unit he had was a test one, and the finished product is different, which I highly doubt because this was done is the German Headquarters of Amazon and they usually only get the finished products, not the test ones, as they are only a marketing and sales unit and not a research one, there is no charging port in the cover.
Only 3 more days and we will know for sure, but if I were you, I would certainly not be betting money on that.
@emmelaich: nice idea... I have a surface pro I, but I did not order the Oasis so I won't be able to test that...
