Wide margins! At least in pure maths, the paper size is often close to A5 (octavo, maybe), and with generous margins and font size, there is certainly no room for two columns (there are certainly exceptions, though, but I have never read a two-column paper). Well adapted to e-readers! I guess we have less to say than others..
