How Much Free Space on a Brand New 8GB Kindle Paperwhite?

I've just picked up a brand new 8GB Kindle Paperwhite (waterproof) from The Good Guys yesterday.

After starting it up and doing the necessary system updates, it reports under Storage Management:
USED 268MB | FREE 5.97GB

Is this correct? Is the balance of unreported memory just system files? Or is there something wrong with the amount of memory on my Kindle.

I have not downloaded any books to my Kindle. I am aware that it comes pre-installed with the New Oxford American Dictionary (67MB), Oxford Dictionary of English (47MB) and User's Guide (566KB).
