There is no 8" model. The 6.5" approx. model (Nxtpaper 40 phone) is about 6.9 x 15.2 mm useful area = 2.2:1 (6.6:3). The regular Nxtpaper 11 is about 10.9" and about 16:10. There is possibly a Nxtpaper 11 pro with wider aspect.
There is no value whatsoever in making the text 4:3 aspect by top & bottom margins on either of those. The 4:3 text on the 6.5" phone would be about 4.5" size, pointless. Might as well have the full 2.2:1 aspect. Worse than a 6" 4:3 ereader and nothing like an 8" model.
The Nxtpaper 11 I have is far too large to use instead of an 8" reader. The 11 Pro version might be nicer, but I have the Nxtpaper 14 and it's a very nice 3:2 aspect. Great for multi-column magazines, A4 or letter size, or epubs or PDF novels in two page view.
None are remotely any substitute for 6" to 8" size at 4:3 aspect, which is the ideal range for reflowable novels, though my preference is 7" to 8". I got a spare 8" Sage just in case.
