As far as battery life, it would be preferred, if a case or cover came out with a battery included that would plug into the micro USB port on the bottom.

When I think about it, I can easily charge my Oasis with a USB battery pack, gotten for $8 or less, like this one:

Though I wouldn't want to carry an extra object with me, dangling off my kindle.

I believe battery life isn't the real problem here. If you want your kindle to last through the week or month, this $8 battery pack will do the trick.
However,
It's the convenience of having it all in an easy to carry and travel pack; as well as battery longevity.
Reading and charging the battery, will result in the internal battery giving the ghost in 2-3 years; and this is serious killer!

Yes, I love the 7" screen, but I would have preferred them to have 5x larger battery over a larger screen!

I've changed the battery in my paperwhite; and I'm sure once my Oasis gives up the ghost, I will be reading from my paperwhite again.

That is a neat device but cheaper for you can just plug the Oasis into the charger it came with for free LOL
