Why exactly do you want to buy the onyx i86+? I ask because I see from the text below your avatar description that you have the whole repertoire of e-ink readers. I am currently without an e-ink device. Since 95% of all what I read are in PDFs, it makes sense to buy something that balances size, technology and price.
Obviously, the M96 might be the ideal for someone with my needs. But its price ($400+), low resolution and older technology held me back.
The Kobo Aura HD would have been ideal for me had it not been that there's also another device, about the space price, with a bigger screen.
I had refrained from buying another e-ink reader from the time my nook kicked the bucket. That was in 2012. The reason being that e-ink readers were not ready/optimized for PDF reading. I have been waiting since. So, when I saw the i86, I got excited. Even though it doesn't have the perfect specs, I believe it has achieved the level where one can comfortable load a PDF file without having to worry much about scrolling. I am of the opinion that most e-ink readers have reached their saturation level of what they can offer. Its just like buying smartphones nowadays. You can get one for $250 that does everything you need and you can get another for $800 because it offers some little feature that you don't care for.
