Hey guys,

I am currently living in Hong Kong and want to buy a Kindle Paperwhite 2. As it is not sold official by amazon here, I was looking for parallel import devices. The only ones I found were imported from Japan for a very competetive price (9300 HKD ~87 EUR). The one thing that makes me hesitate is that I dont know the differences between the japanese (PW2J, serial# begins with B05A, 905A)
and international models (PW2, serial# begins with B0D4, 90D4).

Can anyone help me ? Is it possible to root the PW2J?
