Hopefully that wont be an issue then.

I will buy a KT2 (basic kindle 7th gen). Probably with ads.
More likely that a used machine is running 5.8.8, because it has been in use since the updated was pushed.

With a new machine, since it has not been used, it has not had a chance to update.
Stores (including Amazon's) have not yet exhausted their stock of pre-5.8.8 Kindles.

And buying from a store is a better choice because of the "30 day, no questions, return policy" that Amazon pushes.
If the Kindle does arrive with 5.8.8, immediately send it back and order from a different seller.

No ads.
The screen saver add-in will not work with ads.
