I'd suspect that you meant pixel since 8 points would be ~22 pixels on the 200 DPI screen and ~33 pixels on the 300 DPI screen.any length of time.

Yeah, I thought so.
Following that logic, it means that if 6pt would be the smallest readable font size on a 200dpi, then 4pt would be the smallest on a 300DPI screen; any smaller and the letters or symbols would be mutilated due to too low pixels.
8pt is barely readable on a 200DPI screen.
I haven't tried below 8pt, but is possible that 6pt can be read on 200DPI screens.
I don't think a lot of people will want to read a book written in 8pt or lower; unless they make use of a magnifying glass.
