It's probably not possible to jailbreak the new Paperwhite ("PW4" here aka 2018 model aka 10th gen PW) because the firmware would probably be too recent. If you read the sticky "Open Sesame" thread (jailbreak guide), you will find that you want a firmware version of 5.10.1.3 or older to readily jailbreak your PW4.
There was a recent post that Amazon UK at least still had older firmware on the 32GB models that the poster purchased. Presumably there is a slower turnover on the more expensive 32GB version. You'd be less likely to find that on the more popular 8GB model.
If you do buy a new Paperwhite do not let it update over the air (OTA). Put it into airplane mode right away so that the firmware version does not automatically update until you decide what you are going to do e.g. jailbreak or possibly keep it on airplane mode and wait to see if a solution to jailbreak newer firmware versions is found.
