There is the only [techincal] thread about Paperwhite in Developer's Corner at the moment, so I leave this information here: /usr/bin/powerd in Kindle Touch firmware already knows about magnetic sensor. To see it:

Code:

strings /usr/bin/powerd | grep -i mag

So there is another trace of Paperwhite hardware support (sensor for going to sleep on cover closing) in current Kindle Touch software.
