The problem with a lot of sites (not just TeleRead) is that they use canned software like WordPress. This makes it a lot easier for non-techies to publish on the web. It also puts them at the mercy of what templates are available for their particular software.

It's a tradeoff. For myself, I'd probably either create a better template to use in the CMS (content management software), or I'd just do the entire site by hand. This is not an option for the majority of people and web sites, however.

Edit: There are situations where it is appropriate to limit the amount of text on a line for stylistic presentation on a web site. I don't agree with doing this in forums, emails, etc., but that is just my preference.
