What is important here, is your convenient eye distance, for a given task.
We are also not chameleons, so both eyes try to focus around the same spot - never the whole or parallel area. Distance between 2 eyes is also not negligible, as their focus is very different when looking close...
Eye sight cannot be fully corrected, only humain brain corrects it and makes a belief of a planar paper... (in fact, brain gathering spots with good quality focus is only in the middle where both eyes actually point at)
In the case of A4 academic papers - where the most belonging information with usually fit onto same A4 page -, you usually never look at the whole paper at a time in reading quality - just only smaller spots. You are moving it at a convenient distance forth and back / up - down till got the page understood.
So I move the device itself rather than a slow pan & zoom (like I do on my 10" tablet), but at a constant convenient distance (defining a convenient physical letter size).
I can also resolve pixels from nose distance... yet don't do that, because it's rather tiring for more than 10 minutes.
For some people 8" enough, to me 10" is a bare minimum (with margin removals).
