The Reader I have with the best battery life is my Kobo Aura H2O. It's going on 6.5 years with a still decent battery.

So I would recommend for Kobo to go with the Kobo Libra H2O because of the 7" screen. If going with Pocketbook, I would suggest the Pocketbook Inkpad 3 Pro for the 7.8" screen. 6" screens are now too small (IMHO).
I had the "Kobo H2O 2eme edition", it is significantly better than the new models. (better construction, backlight and contrast)

However, I am of the opinion that a 6-inch device is more compact than a 7'8-inch reader.
The six-inch fits in your pocket without any problems.

PS: Of course, it depends on everyone's preferences. At home, I also prefer the screen version, but outside the home, I prefer the 6-inch version.

I was hoping Jon would answer. My understanding is that it means humble or honest.

Jon, what do you mean?

Well, that is more of a fact than an opinion

But I'm just being a jerk and I do prefer a 6" screen to a larger one.

That depends on the Readers in question. While 6" might be smaller, it' not as nice to read with as a 7" Reader.

Also, buying a Reader to put in your pocket increases the risk of it getting damaged.

This depends very much on the construction of the reader.
There are hardly any problems with a device with a completely underlaid display module and Asahi Glass surface (Boox Poke 3).
You should only not drop it.

It depends on the size of the device.

nook STR: 6.5 in (165 mm) H 5.0 in (127 mm) W 0.47 in (12 mm) D
Kobo Libra H2O: 15.9 x 14.4 x 0.5 cm (6.3 x 5.7 x 0.2 in)

So the nook STR is overall larger then the Libra H2O.

It also depends on how you carry your Reader. I can easily carry my original H2O no problem. I have a bag I sometimes take with me that I can put my H2O in and keep it safe. I've never ever wanted to put a Reader in a pocket. I treat my Readers carefully. I don't think that because I have never broken any screen that I'm safe being less lax.
