No special offers either, they don't sell them on Brazil.
Just opened the box and did not registered or turn on Wi-Fi before.
Should I try to downgrade? And which steps should I follow? Saw a few posts ago that there are 2 methods?
I love the covers hack and collections manager, even if I never really got how to use Koreader. But I can't even say how a serial port looks like, so this method will not help me.
I will wait some answers before I do something that can damage JB chances.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that any new fresh-out-of-the-box paperwhite should be able to do the downgrade.
Follow the steps to check your serial number for the right "factory" download.
Pay attention to the notes that the factory downgrade takes a long time ( 10-20 minutes ).
To skip the wifi setup step, get the paperwhite to the screen where it asks you to connect to wifi, but then press [x] in the corner.
One other thing to note: When you do register after the jailbreak is complete, I believe it removes the 'hotfix'.
So my method ( please read all the instuctions, this is just the short version of some of them )
Downgrade.
Create the 'update blocker folder"
Connect to wifi.
Register
Install jailbreak and everything else.
