Sorry, is this about formatting? If so:
-- to read reflowable text based documents (txt, epub, html etc.) I use a two-column portrait mode, like newspapers or academic articles, and I read books with more satisfaction than on smaller devices;
-- if forced to a single column, like on Word Processing software with single column reflow, I anyway quite enjoy the reading experience.
Narrower columns are optimal for speedier reading, but text editing is for contemplative reading anyway, and both modes are quite satisfactory.

So, on the contrary, "size does matter": the more the real estate, the more data your eye embraces per page, the better. It is like reading text on A4: better than on smaller paper, if formatted properly. To render text as properly formatted, there is software.
