The screen size on my Kindle Fire is very adequate. My phone is another issue, but since my Kindle Fire is always by my side.... I only use the phone for apps if I need internet connection and wi-fi for the Kindle isn't available.
When I plan a research trip, I take my 13" laptop so I can enter right into Legacy and it's much more convenient to type on. The onscreen keyboard on mobile devices is really slow to use if you're a touch typist, although I'm getting faster if I have the Kindle Fire situated so I can type with two fingers instead of one. Having a smaller laptop for the field is nice and I definitely don't feel as if I'm "lugging it around". But the app on Kindle Fire is great for those unexpected research moments.
