I used a FT232RL, which cost just 1,5$(with shipping included from China ) on eBay or Aliexpress, on it you can also select with jumper 5v, 3.3v or <floating based on vcc in> if you remove the jumper completely.

By the way what instructions did you follow? I've found a couple of tutorials, but would be great to replicate your steps to maximize success!

There has not been an offical release of that version for the PW2.

(Scroll down to "Paperwhite Generation 6" == PW2 )

Please check again and post any correction.

This is the best one we have (applies to all touch screen devices, all firmware versions, just use files matching your device).
** Except the two Oasis models - no serial port access. **
