still has the i86ML for sale, as does
Onyx-Boox Russia (though those could simply be old stock). Onyx's own TMall site doesn't have it listed.
I'm not altogether surprised if they've stopped making the the
original i86ML screen (which is after all the old Pearl technology). I would however be surprised if they aren't replacing it with a new screen in that size range (doesn't one of the upcoming Kobos have a 7.8" screen?), as I think they need
something between 6" and 9.7", and it would make more sense (even if rationalising screen sizes) to continue with an 8" rather than a 6.8" as the intermediary.
