I hope that some Asian countries have a Paperwhite that works the other way around... It seems Japan is getting more and more books read from left cover to right cover, and from left to right per page, but many are still printed to be read from right cover to left cover, and from top to bottom.
(I think I'd feel exceptionally awkward if someone would take a Western fantasy novel, and then start printing it from top to bottom, starting at the right side of the book. It'd feel like reading both backward, and in the wrong direction
