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.

My web searches for the optimal printed document page size finds only hits
on fonts, not the page size itself. I'm curious whether an executive page
size (8x10 inches) would be more readable than the letter page size (8.5x11 inches) because each text line is shorter. If shorter text lines read more
quickly then perhaps 6x9 inches would be a good page size.

Those with more knowledge on page size and readability are encouraged to
share their knowledge with me.

TIA,

Rich
