When you have more screen space you can more easily do things like write notes in the margin. Holding it closer doesn't help because it physically does not give your hand more room to write, only a bigger screen does.

And again, it's always easier to read on a 10.3" screen because the font is always bigger at the SAME distance.
And I speak of my reading behavior and of what I see in my environment.
And there is almost without exception what has been described.
An approximate formula for EInk devices: 10,000 / dpi = working distance in cm.
Because someone with average sharp eyesight no longer sees the individual pixels - I see more clearly, so the distances are a bit larger for me.
If you don't mind pixel vision, you don't have to worry about that - but I don't know anyone.

Edit:
In my view and use, EInk devices are read and not write devices; I use paper for reminder notes (e.g. shopping lists).

Only when I write something on it with the pen, and these are almost only comments in pdf files, then I prefer to use the Likebook Alita (10.3 inches). However, my writing distance (approx. 50 cm) is different from the normal reading distance (approx. 30 cm).

I write notes that should live longer with the keyboard on the Boox Note Air (distance approx. 70 cm), using the pen only to position the cursor. Its area of ​​application is that of a (keyboard) notebook (e.g. browsing).

But if I read what is produced normally, then I do it with my Likebook Ares (7.8 inches) at a distance of 30 cm - only if I need the distance to music notes while playing, then I read on the Likebook Alita or Boox Max Lumi (I hardly write on it at all).

In summary: In my opinion, 10.3 inches only offers advantages over 7.8 inches if, for whatever reason, you write a lot on the device with the pen and / or have to hold it further away from your eyes.

Fortunately, I didn't have a bad buy because I was originally looking for a device for longer distances - but there are some people who are very dissatisfied with their expensive purchase because they expected a clearer picture of what it was from the 10.3 inch cannot deliver due to the resolution, but they do not need the included device features because they do not use them.
