I set up my display with Book Browser on the left, very narrow, with most of the screen divided equally between Code View and Preview, which is docked on the right. (Currently using Sigil 0.9.18, since I find that it's a bad idea to buy an automobile in the first year of a model run.)
Thus arranged, Preview is just about the size of a "page" on my Fire tablet, and just as easy to read. (It would be nice to have the ability to add a bit of leading to the lines.) I use Liberation Mono for Code view, since that's the typeface I use for writing html documents in WordStar, and I use Georgia for Preview, since Georgia is my favored typeface for print editions.
Preview is a brilliant feature, especially now that the linkage runs both ways: click on a line in Code View, and Preview jumps to that spot, and vice versa. And clicking on a hotlink in Preview opens the web page in Google Chrome. For me, it's the perfect way to proof and massage a book.
And "massage" is the operative word. I think you will find that few of the posters here, especially the more vociferous ones, have ever actually WRITTEN a book, so they don't understand how authors work. If I need to rewrite a section, I'll take it back into WordStar to do the work, but otherwise I have no problem making changes in Code View and seeing the words adjust themselves in Preview. I can't imagine a better setup for a writer, if he/she/it is a touch typist.
