As I said, with my experience with NewEgg, their combo deals are fairly random and mostly chosen by an automated computer system. Sort of like Amazon's "buy this item along with XXX." Sometimes the suggestions make sense, and other times they are ridiculous.
Even if the Libre came ONLY with the reader, I still would consider it as a fantastic deal, as the USB cable needed to charge is very easy to get for cheap (if you don't have one already). And, selling an item without ANY type of charger would be outright ridiculous. Are the cheapo earphones or the pouch worth all that much? Naw.
EDIT: One more note regarding the price: NewEgg lists the normal price of the item as $199.99 with a $62.99 sale. When I bought the jetBook, NewEgg gave it to me for $170 when Ectaco was selling it for $300 and eBay was $200+. Don't doubt NewEgg's deals.
