Just tried it. They are just slightly different in terms of dimension.
The Nova Pro will sit inside a KA1 case, but will not be held there. So you would need to use something like double sided tape to hold it in place were you to use a KA1 cover. Or at least the KA1 cover that I have.
However, there are also a couple of other problems:
The power button on the Nova Pro is at the top of the device so trying to press it into the KA1 case turns it on. Because of that, you would need to cut out a hole for the power button.
There is nowhere to attach the stylus on the KA1 cover which would probably increase the likelihood of it getting lost. Either that or you would somehow have to securely attach some kind of loop for the stylus.
The magnets in the KA1 case do not seem to be aligned sufficiently to act as a sleep cover for the Nova Pro.
Personally, I don't really mind the Nova Pro cover. It is very utilitarian in nature, but, for me, it is a very utilitarian device so it makes for a good marriage. Perhaps if it proves to sell in sufficient quantities, some third party cover maker will decide to make something more stylish for it, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting... So if you're looking for an alternative, it will likely have to be one of the generic kind of covers that uses tape, elastic or velcro to hole the reader in place.
