Many (including myself) regard the original Oasis design as flawed, given that the cover had about 3/4 of the battery capacity. You had this nice, lightweight device without it attached, but only about 7 hours of reading time. You could not charge the cover independently of the Kindle, and it also precluded using 3rd party covers (unless you didn't mind charging your Kindle every 6 hours or so). And it entailed more charging cycles for the Oasis, usually not good for the life of the battery.
I think what would work better is something like the iPad covers which magnetically attach to one side and cover the display side only. But iPads had the necessary magnets to allow for the edge attachment, and Scribe doesn't.
