And now the Neo - again there are other versions of the clone OEM device, that already include a cover, but BeBook is not going to. I'm guessing maybe since they re-brand and box them as BeBook, perhaps they buy them by the crate in shrink-wrap or something, but I'm assuming they could also by crates of covers, or buy them in crates already in covers?
Anyway, obviously no lessons learned from the Mini experience over at BeBook, which is a pity, because as far as customer support goes they are better than most other eBook reader companies (still not perfect, but I have responses to all my queries, and they tend to reply to forum queries, even if slowly sometimes).

I once made the calculations. If I ordered from Astak, I would have saved about €10. But the cover I have now is worth absolutely more than €10.
But with the Neo, I can order a Boox for €299 + €9 (S/H). That includes a cover, and an adapter...
The Neo is €299 + €9,95 (S/H), without cover and adapter (the last I don't mind too much). And no availability for a cover right away. Which will probably also cost about €30 (the same as for the Mini and One).
