It's funny, I had the opposite experience. I loved my Nexus 7 and used it every day for reading and such - until I got my first Galaxy Note (a Note 3).

The screen was nearly as big as the Nexus 7 and fine to read on, in a much smaller overall form factor thanks to the smaller bezels. The Note 3 served all the same needs as the Nexus 7, and it still fit in a front pants pocket like my old phone (which the 7 didn't).

I went from there to a Note 4 and Note 8 and never used another 7" tablet.

What seems weird to me about the Note Fold is that the folding display isn't all that much bigger than the Note 8 - 7.3" diagonal vs. 6.3", albeit in a more square aspect ratio.

OTOH, if anyone on the SF Peninsula buys a Note Fold, let me know and I will buy you lunch at some very nice place just so I can play with the phone. I promise I will try not to break it!
