The thing with most phones, even with those over 6'', is that the screen is too narrow for comfortable reading. For me, anyway. I'm sure there are people who actually prefer a narrow screen for reading, but I'm not one of them. My eink readers with 7-8'' screens are perfect for me.
As to tablets, they're usually much heavier than ereaders and that's a dealbreaker for me. Well, the iPad Mini is pretty lightweight, but still heavier than any of my dedicated ereaders, it's also too expensive to buy just for reading, and I don't want a screen under 8'' for any other activities. Too small.
