Obviously, it all boils down to personal preference, but for me, the sweet spot is 7". I find it perfectly suited to watching videos, reading and surfing the web. Not the optimal size for viewing comics, but I rarely do that. I value portability, so the smaller size is great. I can tuck it in the inside pocket of a jacket. I cannot go all the way down to smartphone size; trying to read on my phone drives me batty, and I only do it as a last resort. My eyes are great, and I can reduce the font way down, but turning the page every two seconds makes me crazy.
