Until I started reading ebooks I always read paperbacks. A 6" ereader gives a page the size of a paperback, which to me is plenty large enough.
In my retirement home there are a number of people who have to read with larger fonts. I use either size 4 or 5 on my Kindle. Either one is fine for me. Some of my neighbors use up to size 8. I don't think any use larger fonts than that. These people range in age from about 62 to about 85. I'm 78. All of us have reduced vision but 6" ereaders are big enough.
I did have a neighbor who wanted a larger device and he ended up getting a Kobo HD. I think that's 6.8" if I remember right. He was happy with that but he'd been reading on a 6" Kindle for years. He wanted the larger one when he found out they exist.
