It is striking to me that they have eliminated all of the model-specific configuration options: no Special Offers, no storage options, no wireless options, no color options (the Kids Edition bundles one of 3 covers, but the Paperwhite itself has no options).

This tells me that the lineup going forward is going to follow this ‘fewer SKUs’ trend. I could be wrong: color options may show up later in the product cycle (maybe next year), but Special Offers would seem gone for good, as with cellular option.
Before this urban myth keeps spreading...

As Issybird pointed out in the other thread, the PW5 has ad supported and no-ads. The PW5 Signature Edition comes with no ads. I assume the PW5 Kids has no ads.

Edit: This is for the U.S.A, from what I see on the website.
