Huh?

When people have asked for this as a feature, they were reminded that there might not be room.

How much space of the 2 GB is left?

There is now a feature in Manage Your Content & Devices which lets you check what is on a device and maybe remove as required.
Well, if it isn't all books (roughly 512 books), it's darned close. I'm confused now, Space available says 3,076 MB free (in device info), if I divide that number by 1024, that should give me the number of gigabytes, right? That comes to roughly 3.004 GB, which doesn't make sense for a PW2.

Have I done the math correctly? The device info window doesn't specifically say what generation I have, is there someplace else that specifies that?

I will check to see if the Kindle support pages on the website allows me to manage the books separately from the device itself, and if I can figure out what I have. But really, I can't believe Woot would send me the wrong device.

Update: As far as book deletion goes, I just figured out that I was looking at the "ALL" option and not the downloaded option. In my mind, "All" is an odd default selection.
One mystery solved. But all Amazon device management page says, is that I own a Paperwhite, no mention of the generation.

Update 2: I googled the conversion from MB to GB and found a page that does the conversion, and it gave me the same results as my own math. 3.004 GB. I'm beginning to believe this device is a PW3. Maybe this is why I'm so pleased with the device.
