It would certainly improve the value proposition. I own one, but only paid $5 due to promotions and trade-in credits, and it is a nice device, just not $90 nice.
The Paperwhite (10th generation) has always had 8GB in the base configuration.
At any rate the sale appears to be over.
Firmware version would be the same regardless of storage capacity.

They haven't updated the product page. But there's many users on reddit that ordered the basic unit (not pw4, the KT4) and they're being shipped with 8gb and it even says it on the box. I assume this is a supply issue and they simply can't get 4gb nand chips or they have an overstock of 8gb nand chips for the same cost or less than the 4gb.
I was asking for shipped firmware for the purposes of jailbreaking, since the latest factory firmware is 5.11.0 which is what the KT4 used to ship with. It's my understanding that the PW4 now ships with a 5.12.x firmware, so public jailbreak is out of the question if purchased now.
Pretty much a curiosity question more than anything.
