So it's about compromise, and find it a joy to use compared to my paper-white 6.8" 11th Gen screen. So yes used to 7" screen, have had an earlier boox also, 7" screen. Personally don't miss a 7" screen as the 6" makes up for it, less bulky
I disagree on better portability. I've had some 6" Readers that were heavier then the Libra 2. Also, I don't find a 6" reader any more easy to carry around then the Libra 2. Also, I have carried around a 6.8" Aura H2O long before I had the Libra 2.

As for better reading experience, I disagree. while 6" is OK, I find the 6.8"/7" to be a better reading experience.

I have an origami cover for my Libra 2. I was on a bus recently and I was able to put down the tray and use the cover as a stand. quite well. It was the first time I've done any real reading with the cover as a stand. The touch screen made it much easier then the buttons when on the stand.
