At 7inch i'm guessing you'll still have some zooming to do. Whereas at 9.7" you shouldn't really have to zoom at all. I've already done some experimenting with my tablet pc using a window at the same dimensions of the iPad display and this gives me a perfectly readable comic without having to zoom. I'm not sure you could do that at 7inches.

Of course it all depends on what kind of comics your reading really.
I read comics in landscape mode with fit to width, and then scroll down the page. That way zooming is not required. I wont be reading in portrait mode.

9 inch is a bit too big to carry around, 7 inch seems a good compormise between portability and reading.
