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?
FYI, I've seen the Paperwhite available at much more competitive prices, via what looks like an official importer; look here for the places to buy Kindles in HK:

I have seen the 4GB model in Bookazine as well.
