I always read with the cover off, and my experience has been: When I wake up my Oasis while it's still in the cover, the battery gauge at the top of the home screen will reflect the battery level of the cover. When I tap on the quick menu, it will show two meters. The meter for the device is usually 90-94% and the meter for the cover varies depending on how long it's been since the last charge (and the cover meter and the home screen meter will match). When I pop my Oasis out of the cover, the meter on the home screen immediately tops up to reflect the device battery (90-94%), and the double-meters on the quick menu disappear.

After reading @disconnected's post, I tried reading with the cover on and was surprised to find the device battery meter going down rather than the cover's battery meter. Was this because the device had a 94% charge? If my device battery goes below 90%, will it switch to the cover?

For me, the home screen battery meter is always there. When plugged into the cover, the quick menu meters are always present; when not plugged into cover, the quick menu meters disappear.
My experience is similar. I agree with your observations.
