The price includes the cover. The Voyage price doesn't.

Right. It's a $200 Voyage (overpriced already), with a better backlight system, and thinner plus a $90 leather battery case.

I think the price, relative to the Voyage, is reasonable.

I think the Voyage price, relative to the PaperWhite, is insane. I should know, I own one (I like it but wow it's expensive to buy those pseudo-buttons).

Yeah, but how many people really even want a $90 cover? I don't use a cover at all, but when I did I sure as hell didn't drop $90 on one.

The cover doesn't cost $90, look:

Voyage ($200) + Premium leather cover ($85) = $285

The Oasis costs $290 with battery cover. You're paying for a more expensive Kindle and a cheaper cover :)
