Thanks for all the insightful replies. So I assume neither waterproofing methods truly work? If so I might get a Paperwhite 4, since Amazon support is great with these issues.

Also, I watched a disassembly of the Paperwhite 4 and there is absolutely no seal between the back cover and all the electronics inside, so is the waterproofing technique there similar to HZO? I don't see it being mentioned anywhere.
