List/Recommendations of 8 inch eReaders

I'm on a large screen eReader kick right now, and I find myself especially fond of the ones with the 8 inch screens; they're a significant difference from the 6 inch ones, but they're more portable than the 9 inch and up eReaders. I was wondering if there was a resource out there that detailed known 8 inch eReaders, and where to buy them - or failing that, if people could recommend specific eReaders they know of that fit my specifications. The ones that I already own are the Kindle Fire HD 8, iRex DR800, iRex Illiad, Icarus Illumina XL, and Onyx Boox i86. I would appreciate any recommendations for others that are out there. I'm willing to buy new and used/refurbished. I live in America, so anything that ships to the US, or I can buy from somewhere like eBay or Amazon is preferable. My budget is under $300, although I might be able to budge a little on that, depending.

Thanks.

You can check our wiki, technically the Kindle Fire is a tablet but the wiki has those also.

The only e-ink device I know which is not already in your collection is the Hanvon N800, available only in China. I found it on Aliexpress for an outrageous price: http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32459149040.html

It does have some nice features like handwriting support, sound recording, great battery life, and a solid build, but it's not worth that price unless you are a hard-core collector.
I bought mine for less some years ago, but I'm not ready to part with it just yet 😃

I won't go into color tablets because there are too many to list...

Do you have the two PocketBook 8" readers, the Inkpad and the Colour Lux? The latter is no longer being sold, so I think it would be hard to find now.

Any buying, selling, trading, bargaining, etc. needs to go in the Flea Market Forum. Posts made here will be deleted, so post in the correct forum, please.
