Easiest to read page size

[Eckhard Höffner]

This is a question that cannot be answered as such. If you have a large 
font, the page size will generally be larger too. The usual font size 
for American science paperbacks is 9 x 6 inches and 11 pt.In general, up 
to 65 letters (including spaces) are legible; but there can be 80. If 
the line spacing is large, the page can also be larger because more 
letters can fit into one line.
