Just for the record, she was full of it; search and everything other than the packaging is 100% identical between the units. I use mine on the US store every day. The Japanese unit is cheaper than the US one, so maybe they get a better markup on the US ones? Or they might just have more of the US model and wanted to move their stock.
Either way, it's still a great machine, and peace of mind is just as important as a price difference. I'm glad you're enjoying your Paperwhite!
