Text lines that are too long, are hard to follow. I like a small font, so a screen no bigger than a paperback is best for me.
There's a reason newspapers and magazines use columns instead of a single line of text all the way across the page. And yes, we don't (normally) have 3" books... but we also don't print popular fiction on letter-size pages, even though that'd be cheaper to make.
If the column of text is too wide, it fails to provide the better immersion that larger pages are supposed to allow.
