I don't dislike the intermediate sizes (7" and 8"), but I find them less useful for the different situations in which I read. The 6" offers me greater portability, lower weight and a more affordable price. And the 10" expands the reading possibilities: more text, 2-column display option and other formats (CBZ, PDF). I find the combination of both very practical. But I don't think there is an "ideal" e-reader size for everyone. Everyone uses the size they feel most comfortable with.
I like reading using 7" at home and usually bring my Libra 2 with me when traveling. When I'm out and about I use my e-ink smartphone to read, and when I'm too lazy to pick up a bigger reader I use a Palma to read at home, too. I also use the Palma to read in bed since it's so small and lightweight.

My 10" reader gets used mostly for manga and the 13" for note taking and work related PDFs.

I'd love to have a traditional 6" reader with page turn buttons, but they don't come in white or with Carta 1200/1300.
