I agree. With the high price of the reader itself, you'd think they could spring for the cover. Esp when they charge an extra 40-50 bucks for it, when it only actually costs about 3-5 dollars worth of materials/labor.
Astak actually includes a solidly built cover with their readers, which is another plus they have going for them.
Now, if Amazon actually dropped their price to 250, and included a hard cover for the Kindle, they might actually get more sales. Heck, if they opened up and allowed the unit to read more formats, they'd get even more sales.
Too bad that will most likely never happen on its own. They will soon have to adjust to the rising tide of the smaller companies who will slowly take up their market share.
