7": The sweet spot for me in terms of the amount of text on screen. I never have to change the font size which is great.
7.8": At my preferred font size I found there was too much text on screen. The sea of text was distracting and made me read slower. Also, I prefer to read without glasses/contact lenses and so I keep the ereader fairly close to my face. This exacerbates the effect of a big screen.

Similar experience as far as screen sizes go. My issue was with actual devices and weight.
The 6.8" Aura HD was just a wee bit too heavy for me to hold single handed for long periods and the wedges on the back weren't particularly comfortable. Giving 7" another try with the Libra H2O. It's around 50 grams lighter than Aura HD, it's actually lighter than the Paperwhite 3. That plus weight distribution and large side bezel would hopefully make it more comfortable to use for marathon reading sessions.
