If you're interested, I could ship you one from Japan! They don't release until mid-October here I think..

Thanks for that, seeing it will be my first PW i am contemplating whether i should just get the current PW thats available here, i may be wrong but my guess is that most of the newer features will probably be available later via software update,if i do have a change of heart i certainly will take you up on your kind offer though.

I would at least wait until they are released in the US and Europe early next month and see if there is any further information then. The new Paperwhite might not be much of an upgrade over the original (and yes some of the improvements will probably be available in updated firmware), but if it's your first Paperwhite, the improved lighting, contrast, screen, touch control & processor speed will only be in the newer model and must all be worth waiting a month or two for (well as long as it's released before Christmas internationally)?
