Actually, it should be "seven inches" or, if in a more technical context, "7 in". In the latter case it is a good typesetting practice to avoid a line breaking between the number and the unit, and probably any style guideline says that the space between number and unit should be "hard". Ebooks, of course, are a different matter, you can never trust them anyway
