Your comment that I cited referred to the Boox i86 8″ (see post #26) which is made by Onyx, is open Android and is not even out yet. Whereas your post #19 that you mention above refers to the Pocketbook InkPad, which is made by Pocketbook, is not open Android and is unrelated to your post #26, which is what I commented on. I think your getting your posts and e-readers confused.
To clarify, the Onyx Boox i86 will be open Android, and will have a plethora of reading apps available to it, many of which will work very well. This e-reader will probably suit the OP very well as it is 8" and will have a large choice of software available to read all formats, including epub and pdf.
Personally I wouldn't touch the Pocketbook InkPad because it doesn't run open Android. I prefer not to be limited to one single e-reading software when I can have many. No matter how good an e-reader's UI is, IMO it will never compete with the possibilities open to an open Android device. It think this is particularly important with a larger device, because the larger screen makes it more possible to use for other purposes, much like a tablet.
