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!
Here is a clear photo of how it looks(to not get any wrong adapter)

And don't forget to remove the jumper completely(to make it use the same voltage as PW2 output, 1.8v), and also before start, make sure that the battery of PW2 is well charged.

You may also need a driver, which can be found >here<

I have followed instructions that knc1 gave a link above.

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

(Scroll down to "Paperwhite Generation 7" == PW2 )

Please check again and post any correction.
Yes, that was a typo, cause topic starter wrote 5.9.0.2 I was confused and wrote the same I meant 5.9.2.0.1, hope the topic starter also meant that version.

*PW2 == Generation 6*
