We will have to wait a few years, when color e-ink is good enough and cheap enough to replace LCD/LED displays. Or some other new display technology comes along.

I would love a touch e-ink device, about 8" to 9", too. If it had full Android, all the better. Just for extended reading, taking handwritten notes, etc. I am having some problems with my Irex, besides, a Pearl screen seems to be a serious improvement. There is a market for it, but it seems the powers that be have decided that it is too small or that these people will settle for a regular tablet. Pocketbook's devices are getting close but no Pearl screen, and the Boox devices seem to be half baked.
