Kind of not such a great deal without the charging cover. Amazon seems to have none in stock, and there are no 3rd party charging covers.
Interestingly, Amazon still has Oasis 8th gen for sale ($289) with charging cover So only $289 to get a cover, with an Oasis 8th gen for free! https://smile.amazon.com/Amazon-Kind.../dp/B00REQKWGA |

Sorry I missed it. I would have gotten one.
I already have two charging covers but I seldom use them because the connection between Oasis and cover is so glitchy it keeps either forgetting it's attached or freezing up and having to be reset. |

I just got a new Oasis (8th gen) three days ago, via Amazon's trade-in deal. I sent in my PPW 1 and Amazon gave me a $25 credit + 25% off, for a total of ($97.50) total credit to use towards the Oasis 6".
At first I thought it was just for the newest generation, but it works for ALL new Kindles. https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=ods_erd...de=10825010011 |

You can charge the Kindle without the cover. What you can't do is charge the cover without the Kindle -- which always seemed quite stupid to me.
I actually bought a spare cover but it wasn't very convenient to have to switch the covers to charge them. Since neither cover would stay connected to the Kindle anyway it's a moot point. I ended up using a sleeve instead and reading the Kindle with no cover -- and charging it more often that I liked. In the end I've mostly switched over to my Kobo Aura H2O2, Kobo Clara, and Nook Glowlight 3. Not that I have an ereader problem or anything. |

I also ordered a PW4 today. I hope I can at least continue to resist the new Kobo Forma. |
