Yes I've read quite similar feedbacks too. As I've said, when I've called Pocketbook they told me that the white-frozen pages bug would be fixed in September/October. But I have some doubt as many comments on the Aldus blog complain about since last November... .
I've been also on the Tolino website, therefore I understand what you mean but honestly : I'm lost, the Onyx is told to be really buggy, and the inkpad to be abandonned.
So it would be hard, not to say impossible, to choose a 8"....
Which leads to the previous commenter about Kobo, hoping this is not too small for me.
