A little background, I'm a 20 year old guy from New Zealand whose going to be travelling around the UK and Europe for the indefinite future. After that I might be coming home or moving on to North and South America. This is all the gear I plan on taking. Any advice or criticism is appreciated! I tried to link everything I have for you guys, unless it's something that's really obvious as to where you can purchase it.

8+. Otterbox SYMMETRY, Black :: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K6PBSK4
Just as a reference you can see it here This is actually the lowest sale price they will do for the device. Normally the sale is still $10 more then it is currently. So I repeat. IT WILL NOT GET LOWER BUY NOW!
If you're not in a hurry, you could at least wait for the current model Paperwhite to go on sale for $100, which it does fairly regularly.
If you look at any Kindle, Amazon offers two models, one “with special offers” and one “without special offers”. The “with special offers” is $20 cheaper than without them. Having “special offers” is just advertisements on the lockscreen of your kindle, typically pictures of books, maybe some information, and you can purchase them right from the homescreen. You can pay $20 to have them removed and have a generic background that changes, or, you can simply ask amazon support and if you’re a prime member, they’ll usually do it for free (worked for me!)
P.S.: this is what you’ll want

Doubtful. The service that gave me the alert shows a price history. They regularly reduce the price by $20:

This one - https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM ? Does it go down in price any? How is it to read in sunlight?
The eye strain improvements of e-ink are due to the fact that the screen isn't "flickering" or "refreshing" itself 60 times per second like LCD screens. You're right to believe they are "easier on the eyes" (whether you need glasses or not).
Your requirements pretty much embrace every ereader out there (as opposed to LCD tablets). All the e-ink screens are pretty much dedicated readers.
All fit your bill. 6" is the most common size (there are bigger, but you pay disproportionately more).
The only thing that narrows your field even somewhat is the ePub library. Kindles can read ePubs if you're willing to jump through some hoops (either by "jaibreaking" the unit or by converting files on your PC and then sending them to your unit) but they don't support them "out of the box".
The "special features" aren't all fluff. Waterproof is nice if you use it by the pool (e-ink is especially suited for viewing outdoors), and some of the Kobos have native Overdrive support for checking books out of your local library for free.
Finally, there are older "Pearl" screens and newer "Carta" displays when it comes to e-ink. The Carta and Carta2 screens are usually denoted as "HD" or list a dot pitch of more than 200 ppi.
Screen resolution improvements in the Carta displays are a little "fluffy", but the newer models don't "ghost" after a page turn and "refresh" a little faster. But if you "settle" for a (cheaper) Pearl display, it's not the end of the world.
Personally, I'd suggest the Onyx Boox C67ML Carta2, but you could get the cheapest Kindle if you can live without a frontlight and can put up with ads on the lockscreen. Both would "fill the bill".

Yes, you can see here that $99.99 is the lowest it has ever been.
> I'm trying to decide if the 50 dollar difference is worth it.
It is. I bought my Paperwhite back when they were available at BestBuy so I was able to compare the 300 ppi version with the older screen. All other factors aside you want the higher resolution screen. It's noticeably better.
The Voyage and Oasis are higher price choices with different options, but the Paperwhite with the 300 ppi screen (in my opinion) is the base model you shouldn't go below.
> 300ppi
You're looking for a 7th Gen PW, aka the PW3.
The PW4 is also 300ppi, but you shouldn't be able to get a used one yet; if someone's selling a "used" PW4, I'd be highly suspicious and probably avoid the sale.
> used kindle Paperwhite
Ebay? Amazon? Craiglist?
Whichever you choose, try to register it immediately to ensure that it hasn't been reported lost or stolen.
Instead of used, you might want to consider something officially refurbished directly from Amazon.
Also, woot had refurbished Voyages on sale a few days ago, $89 IIRC, and Amazon had the new 10th Gen PW4 on sale already in some countries. If I can find the link for woot I'll add it later.
Edit: links.

The Amazon Basics Lightning cable has 43,000 reviews compared to their best selling house branded product, the Kindle Paperwhite which has 46,000 reviews. So basically one of their highest selling products is barely more popular than their replacement for Apple cables.
I have a new MacBook Pro and an iPhone 7 within arms reach and both are charging with Amazon branded cables. The iPhone is plugged into an Amazon branded brick. The MBP uses USB-C, which is a very NON-Apple-proprietary port. If/when it wears out, I'll buy an Amazon Basics replacement.

From your own fucking link:
>Kindle Paperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its built-in front light—unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes—so you can read comfortably for hours without eyestrain. Adjust your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.
Should I make that even bigger for you?
Now go away, you miserable fucking troll.
Amazon has kindles with light that were designed to reduce blue light, assuming you mean that you read on your phone or tablet.
They've had front-lit, non-led kindles since 2012 and their most popular kindle model (Paperwhite) isn't much more expensive than the one in the article (79.99 vs. 119.99).

Here is a price tracker on the current Paperwhite. It drops every so often. The current $90 price isn't shown because it's not a price change, but a one time use discount. The current base model Kindle doesn't really have a price history as it just came out, so here is the previous one just for reference.
As far as Paperwhite vs base model goes, you have to think of your use case. Like I read more at night and want to have some manga style stuff on it, so the built in light and higher resolution are big pluses. If the added features of the Paperwhite are things that you want and believe are worth the step up in price, I would save up until the next sale. You might also be able to borrow an ereader from somewhere in the mean time. I think colleges library rents them out in two week intervals, maybe your public library offers something similar? Most lend out ebooks now too.

I've spent a lot of time today trying to figure out the difference between the two Kindle Paperwhites that are listed on the Amazon page. I saw the $99 you mentioned, but as far as I can tell, the two listed on their website look identical. Why would one be priced higher? Is one an older edition? Neither page shows which Kindle Paperwhite edition it is which is dumbfounding.
This one is $99: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525736123&sr=8-1&keywords=kindle

EDIT: I have PW 1st generation that I got as a gift. Should I wait for a bigger price drop or a new PW model to come out?
Ok, since you're a newbie to this stuff, I'll lay things out as best as I can.
If eye strain is a concern, go with eInk instead of LCD. You can get displays that have lighting built in (technically no backlit, but the average person has no clue about the technical differences between backlit, sidelit, and frontlit if the lighting is built into the display itself), but in any scenario where you don't need lighting for paper, you won't need it for eInk.
One reason I also recommend eInk over LCD, is that with a tablet you are too easily distracted by games, social media, and other things that take you out of reading. eReaders with eInk are typically dedicated devices that remove most distractions.
You won't get something that fully supports everything due to DRM. Amazon has their own proprietary form of DRM wrapped around the Mobi file format, and nearly everyone else uses ePub with Adobe ADEPT DRM. Apple uses ePub, but they have their own DRM that is proprietary, and just a pain in the butt (seriously, iBooks sucks). Now, Amazon has stipulations that restrict companies from supporting stuff for Kindle and any other DRM type, so you will find that things falls into the official Kindle camp, and everyone else with Adobe ADEPT. This is the one benefit to using an tablet with a LCD screen, because then you can run the Kindle app along side what ever you want for handling ePub (lots of different apps utilize the Adobe ADEPT toolkit).
Next, PDF is NOT an ebook format. It is a page layout format. You may wonder what the difference is, and that comes up where it makes it a pain to have a pleasantly viewable file if your display is smaller than what the file was designed for. This means zooming in and scrolling around a lot. Newer versions of the PDF format does support reflowable text, but it is extremely rare to see any files that actually make use of it. Seriously, avoid PDFs if you want to use a portable device. Nearly everything supports PDFs, but it is just not an enjoyable experience.
As I said before, you will have proper ebooks cater to the two different camps, with Mobi or azw files for Kindles, or ePubs for everyone else. If they are DRM free files, you can easily convert between the two formats using Calibre. PDFs also suck because they rarely can convert to another format cleanly. Seriously, use Calibre to help manage your ebook library. It is an awesome free, open source, and cross platform tool that supports nearly every eReader device out there.
Now, I am going to state this right now, because some people often cause confusion, but Calibre does not do much with DRM encumbered files on its own. It will organize them, and transfer them to your device, but you cannot convert them. There are third party plugins that remove the DRM automatically upon import, but that is something we cannot openly discuss here. It is against the rules, because publishers often monitor open forums, and will start issuing DMCA claims.
Ok, with everything said, it comes down to choice. If you want to just stay in one ecosystem and buy from one place that likely has everything, I'd suggest a Kindle Paperwhite. If DRM or third party ebook purchases are a concern, I'd recommend going with an ePub friendly reader, such as the B&N Nook Glowlight Plus, or one of the Kobo Aura readers.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me, and I can help as best as I can.
I was looking at this Kindle. Is this the one you have?
A few of my friends are telling me to get a tablet and/or Nook but I really like the idea of what a Kindle does and gives the user.
There is a sale on the latest Paperwhite right now.

Kindle Paperwhite E-reader -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQVZDJM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Sure thing!

I like the Kindle Paperwhite- same as the Nook Glowlight, but you can adjust the brightness of the light, which I couldn't do with my Nook. I love the interface and borrow a lot of eBooks from the library, which I find easier to do with my Kindle than my Nook. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486490196&sr=8-1&keywords=kindle+paperwhite Unfortunately, it's only 6" but you can adjust text size to smaller or larger. I have not seen any eReaders that use eInk to be much larger than this...
Em 09/03/17 o Supremo Tribunal Federal (aquele mesmo, do nosso querido Gilmar Mendes) decidiu que E-books e E-Readers deveriam ser livres de impostos.
Desde então tenho monitorado o preço dos E-Readers, e adivinha só: tirando uma eventuais promoções, o preço tem se mantido o mesmo a pelo menos 6 meses.
Posso estar enganado, pois não sei como funciona isso de STF isentando imposto e se seu efeito é imediato, porém não dúvido nada que aquilo que era imposto foi convertido para lucro.
Edit: Pesquisei o preço de um Kindle nos EUA e me surpreendi com o fato de que lá ele custa $119,99 doláres o que em uma conversão direta via Google dá R$387,00.
Quem diria que um produto eletrônico está mais barato aqui que nos EUA.

It does not support Audible, kindle basic and the oasis, they do
So do you think this is good or a little overpriced? It does look really good. I am wondering if I should buy one (reading on the laptop is hard with so much distraction). Is it easy to use (never owned a kindle before)?
You mentioned the backlight. It does seem like a very nice feature. Do you have to manually set it up?
Thanks
Lol I literally just bought one, brand new, on amazon for $80. Might want to lower it. You're selling it for retail price.

Well it depends of you, personally, I prefer paperwhite
You don't "need" them. Like I said, there's a dozen ways to implement reviews, none of them is wrong. But for example.
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d345edc-2e2d-4a9c-b73b-d53956dc458d?SRC=VSIDE (here comes the special pleading I feel like)
Newegg.com manufacturer responses in their reviews as well.
Amazon.com reviews are full on discussion threads, so other users and devs can respond to them. (So I'm not sure what you're on about claiming otherwise)
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Paperwhite-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00OQVZDJM/ref=pd_cp_400_1
You have to understand from my point of view you're trying to argue that dev's should not be able to utilize reviews to communicate with customers. I'll agree that it isn't strictly necessary, that it doesn't have to be implemented on every site's review scheme. I'm not arguing for that anyway. But I am saying that sites that choose to allow communication through reviews aren't wrong for doing so. It's a perfectly valid implementation. I am saying your arguments that sites that do allow for communication through reviews should not are bogus. It's not wrong to implement reviews how you are suggesting. It's also not wrong to do them completely differently if that best suits your users and your community. I am suggesting that your feelings and opinions aren't universal. And plenty of very large and wildly successful companies do things very differently than you suggest and it's not an impediment to their success.
