I think 1 foot is a reasonable standard for close viewing. If I hold a book comfortably my elbow is flexed about 75° and the book is around 13" away.

If the text is too small then people will move the device closer, but I'm short-sighted (and, I suspect, slightly presbyopic) and with glasses on my minimum focal distance is around 9". Focusing on an object that close requires a clear conscious effort.
