  Model Name From Box: Kindle Paperwhite
  Model Number From Device Back: At base, in extremely faint grey minute script: The Model No, even my big desk bolted illuminated magnifying glass, with a 2nd mag glass & lots of extra light, failed to read. So I took a pic with Android & zoomed in,
  The Model No is DP75SDI
  Earlier it seemed it could have been any of
  • DP75SDI : 77 results on amazon.com & lots of search hits eg The model should be: DP75SDI
  • DP75SD1 : No result on amazon.com
  • DP755D1 : No result on amazon.com
  • DP755DI : No result on amazon.com
  • DP756D1 : No result on amazon.com
  • DP756DI : No result on amazon.com
  Final digit is more of a vertical bar | not really an I or a 1.
  5.25V Max 0.5A
  The setting menu does not show any model number. Kindle : Device Support /
