Woot: Kindle Paperwhite Manga 32GB 6" E-Reader

Is this a new device, never connected to the Internet?
Yes s/n: G090 LK01
Is it a "refurbished" device?
Yes
Is this the firmware it arrived with or has it been updated to this version?
No stock 5.8.7.0.1 (3115940037)
Is it registered?
No At least not at the time of factory fw install and jb
Does it have ads (Special Offers)?
Yes/No Woot page said 'Includes Special Offers' but when device was registered post-jailbreak and fw 5.8.11 update, it was unsubscribed.
Does it have a pass-code protection or parental controls enabled?
No
What country was it sold in?
US
What country was it delivered to?
US
Was the seller an on-line Amazon site or was it a third-party seller (on-line or brick&mortar).
Woot.com (Amazon subsidiary)

After updating the PW3-32 to customer 5.8.11 (3243010037), both factory firmwares 5.7.4 and 5.8.9.0.1 were automatically deleted after copy/eject. The other PW3 (brand-new from Amazon) that I downgraded was also running 5.8.11 (3243010037).

coplate's suggestion of new, out-of-box Kindles getting 1-2 free passes definitely has merit.
