It is my personal conviction that if 10 years from now, the
perceived optimal size for eBook readers still depends on "personal preferences", it will be because the technology has failed to gain wide adoption.
A physical book's optimal size *doesn't* depend on personal preferences. It depends on the content--and it is around 6"x9" paper size that reasonably most anything can be competently typeset. This (i.e.: paper book) technology will never be replaced by any technology whose chief virtues are is fit-in-your-pocket-portability and variable font sizes.
The above is my personal opinion. If you disagreed both before and after reading it, you probably have a fairly good idea how likely
I am to be convinced by counterarguments. Don't let that stop you from presenting them though.
