Huh, the Oasis as a package is working exactly as it is suppose to for me. They are a team, the device and the cover. If you don't like that kind of system, then the Oasis is not for you. Period. My Oasis has not ever run out of battery since I had it. That is because I am using the Oasis package, which includes the cover, the way it was designed. Might not be for everyone, but that is why there are plenty of others kindles around.
When I am done with a reading session, it goes in the cover. It tops it off a bit, I grab it out and continue reading. I do not look at the 2 parts as separate, they are a package.
I would expect in future to have the covers sold separately.
For my use, the design is perfect. Makes the reading part of the Oasis light and shaped perfect and uses the other part to top of the battery.
Others read it always in the cover, I read it out the cover always.
