Again, for anyone interested in a Paperwhite 3 for $35 at Staples:

1) check online for stock
2) call the Staples to see if they have it on clearance, if you trust a sales associate, ask if the item is new and the box is factory sealed
3) go to the store and verify

Mine was a Paperwhite 3.
It was black.
The box appeared to be factory sealed. There was no wear on the box.
The contents appeared to be untouched, once I opened the box
There were no blemishes on the Paperwhite that I could see
I needed to do an intial setup
I believe the firmware was 5.9.4 ( I let the firmware upgrade)

So to me, everything points to it being a new unit.
