I don't have a Libra Color, but I'm a long time comic reader...
I find for my eyes:
6" (like many "classic" ereaders) - OK-ish for most manga but can be a little tough for some (and this might depend if you are reading translations or original text)
7" (like a Kindle Paperwhite) - Pretty good for manga; this is close to paper manga size. I wouldn't read American comics at this size on eink.
8" (like an iPad Mini or Kobo Aura One) - American comics start being OK at this size if you read sideways. Manga good but some look a tiny bit blown up at this size.
10" (like classic iPad or many Android tablets) - American comics mostly OK on tablets -- especially if you fit to width they are usually decently legible. Some very detailed comics will feel cramped, and so will detailed double page spreads.
12" - this screen size (especially at 3:2 aspect ratio) is a very close match to the standard American comic page. Still smaller than bande desinee page, but those are usually less detailed and dialog-heavy than American comics so you are good there as well.
