I had two devices few months back and I did a comparison of a pdf file for my friend. I used to own Onyx boox i86 and M92. When i was doing the comparison I had actually forgotten about resolution difference between these devices and i was comparing the zoom level only. I was just checking what would look good to my eyes. Also, I usually read pdf files on these devices in landscape mode. The zoom level will be much less than 100% in portrait mode.
The text in M92 was at 110% zoom when compared to the same pdf file printed on paper and i86 had approx 90% zoom. I had clicked an image at that time. It is blurry and pixelated, so it won't show resolution difference which i could see with my eyes.
My conclusions at that time was : I would be very comfortable reading on 9.7" and i won't use 8" for reading pdf. But i suppose i didn't even take resolution difference into account at that time. I made the judgement in 2-3 months without reading on both devices. A better comparison can be made if i sit and try to read the same page on both the devices separately , but my first impression was that i will prefer 9.7"
I am uploading the comparison image here :
