7" is too big for several of my purses and is harder to whip out on the spot even when it does fit; it's also bigger than I want to one-hand in bed. It's also not pocketable, at least not for my pockets. OTOH, I vastly prefer the bigger acreage of a 7.8" to 8" device when I'm sitting in my armchair; fewer page turns, more immersive reading.
I suspect most here are willing to run to more than one device, especially since they likely have older devices still in play. It's not as if they have to buy a new ereader wardrobe in one fell swoop.

This is where we differ. I find the Libra 2 easy to hold in one hand and also I find it portable enough in my bag. It just fits. 8" would be too big for out and about. I agree that 8" would be good for at home.
I can see some using a 6" for out and about and a larger 7"-8" for at home.
