Is there anywhere I could see a Paperwhite in person?
I'm going to be in Seattle next week (I live in Canada). I'm not planning to buy a Paperwhite yet, but I was wondering if there are any stores that might have a display model for me to try. Do chains like Best Buy usually have demos you can look at?

Thanks!

I purchased the only one Staples had at 130th and Aurora but they did have a Demo about 2 weeks ago. The one I got was the Special Offers one and I'm still considering paying to disable that "feature!"

What area are you going to be in?

Not sure about all the areas I'll be in, but I'm staying in the Northgate area. I'll keep Best Buy and Staples in mind - it should be pretty easy to get to one of them. Thanks for all the advice!

I just checked out a Paperwhite at Best Buy here in the DC area so I expect they'll have them in Seattle.

Best Buy is directly across the Street (north) from the Northgate Mall. I got my official PW case there.

Staples is west of there and about 20 blocks north - it could be walked if the rain is not too obstinate! Aurora (Hwy 99) and 130th or so.

I can concur. I've seen them on display in multiple Best Buy and Staples stores. Not always in stock though.

We bought a basic Kindle (black) as a gift for a friend since they didn't have the Paperwhite in stock. Her son immediately took it and claimed it as his own. Oh well.
