eta: mine is already on the way, I'll get it tomorrow.

I switched my order to a different one (listed as in better condition) and the cost was only fifty cents more. It'll come Saturday instead of Monday -- bonus!
I think the separation on my cover was due to getting a lot of use -- I read a
lot. Gorilla Glue did prevent it from getting worse but the glue expanded while setting and also did not set clear so it looks messy. I plan to keep the walnut cover as a spare and will charge it from time to time. It's also lost its fuzziness. I don't mind the scratches, since they're just signs of use ("character"!) but the corners peeling is not good as there's always a chance of one of those lips catching on something.
The black leather covers are also available used but appear to be selling for a bit over $40 and up. That's a bit out of my "Eh, I may as well" price range. Plus it was a toss-up between merlot and walnut when I originally ordered. Now I'll have both.
My two big wants for a follow-up Oasis would be more storage (lowish priority), more cover options and/or a solar cover (would love to just set it on a windowsill when not in use), and warmer-white LEDs instead of the cool-white ones used now (high priority because I read in bed at night a lot).
