I have a Windows 8.1 tablet (won't upgrade it to 10 as I prefer 8.1 on a tablet...) and I simply use the Calibre ereader. It was the best I could find...

I prefer 8" over 6". It's all a personal preference, naturally. But then, I never hold my device in one hand for an extended time. About portability, even my 8" tablet fits in my coat pocket, if I don't have a bag handy.

And of course, much better for video. The opposite side of the coin is of course that the 9.7" device is significantly heavier.

I have a (several) 6" device, a 6.8", 7.8", 8" (tablet) and 10" (tablet). The 10" I wouldn't even consider reading books on, way too large. I really prefer the 7" or 8" devices, as long as they're either 4:3 or 16:10. 16:9 I really don't like, too narrow for its height.
