I helped a neighbor get started with a Kobo H2o. I forget that size but it was bigger. I did spend a bit of time with it. I didn't hate it but it was a bit large.
I've also read on a Kobo Mini, a 5" screen, and I think that was ideal. A much better size for reading than a 6" screen. So small and easy to hold on to and light and thin and easy to carry in a pocket.
I do have an Ipad with a 9.7" screen. I tried reading on that and it was too big. I'm fine with reading on LCD. I do more reading on my 5.1" phone than on my Kindle.
So yes, I really do know that I prefer smaller screens. Bigger isn't always better. At least not for me.
By the way back in my paper book days it was kind of the same. I nearly always read paperbacks. Hardbacks were way too cumbersome. I nearly always had my current book in my hip pocket. That doesn't work with a hard back. And a paperback is a LOT easier to read sitting under a tree and the difference is even greater when reading in bed. I never did figure out how to read a hardback in bed comfortably.
And trade paperbacks were just hardbacks with soft covers to me. They were too big.
