Alot of the demand for 8" e-Ink readers is driven by people who want to read manga on it, anyway, which is also traditionally black-and-white. So, no benefit there.

That would need a 600 dpi panel. Also it would be unusable with no front light. I almost never use the front light on my Sage.
If my Sage is too small I use my Nxtpaper 11 or NxtPaper 14.
I'd sooner want an 8″ 4:3 Nxtpaper than a colour eink. A 6″ 4:3 would be good too. I dislike 16:9 and 16:10 etc for reading.
One size does not fit all. Magazines often need the 3:2 14.25″ and novels work well on the 8″, but 6″ or 5″ is good for a jacket or pocket or in a bus, but only in 4:3, 5:4 or 3:2, not "widescreen" or longer.
