I have been trying to figure out how to make sure of getting the 4gb model if I buy in store (like Staples). By hitting up some websites like bhphotovideo (which lists a 2013 version and a 2014 version) and frys it looks like the 4gb model does have a different model number and UPC.
So...Staples website gives model number as B00JG8GOWU. But description says 2gb. However, using that exact model number at Best Buy their description says 4gb.
Also, at bhphotovideo, B00JG8GOWU is listed as the 2014 model. The 2013 model has model number B00AWWE08E.
Now...supposedly the model number is not on the box. You would have to open the box to verify...however...
At frys, if you search on paperwhite, there are 2 listed. And they list the UPC's. The "older" paperwhite (probable 2gb) B00AWWE08E has UPC 848719013931. The "newer" paperwhite (4gb) B00JG8GOWU has UPC 848719042191.
So...apparently the UPC is the way to verify. But these are only for the S/O WiFi models.
Now I have to decide how badly I want a PW!
