Yes we do disagree. But as we know, ebooks should be about reflowable text in such a way that it gives the user the experience s/he wants. The way you are typing, itf you were an ebook, you'd be sitting on some website not being purchased as your reading experience is like a poorly formatted PDF. Imagine you took your computer screen and pushed everything over to take up no more then 1/3rd of the left side. Would you really enjoy using your computer when 2/3rds on the right blank? That's basically what you are doing when you self-express. You also take what others type and reformat it fit your 1/3rd of the screen. It's not nice and a lot of people don't enjoy reading it. if they decide they want it narrow they can set the theme to liquid and adjust the browser.
