Perhaps the Oasis is intended only for lighter readers? That would come closest to a reasonable explanation yet. It's strange, though, that such a high-end niche device as the Oasis would be targeted at lighter readers. It's seems self-contradictory to me.

If you're a heavier reader, and you read without the cover, my charging experience is far more similar to a cell phone. Yes, a cell phone will show little change in charge capacity in the first year of use. It's years two and beyond that will be telling.
The Oasis is intended to be used with the cover. That's why the battery is split. The Oasis should be used with the cover or you end up with a very weak battery. Also, reading without the cover means more chance of damage should it be dropped. When you bought the Oasis, you should have known it was meant to be used in the cover. If you use without the cover, you'll be plugging it in to charge many more times.
