jocampo, I don't find the larger # of words per line on my DXG more fatiguing. I find it lot less fatiguing than all those extra k3 inter-page screen flashes imho. In any case you can reduce the line width (small, med, lrg) in the aa menu if need be.
Not 100% sure about the narrow column newspaper analogy but I think that some of this also has to do with the flexible nature of newsprint, print quality, and the ability to put multiple topics on a single page.
As long as your pdf's are less than ~6mb they all seem work pretty well (avg kindle ebook is less than 0.8mb btw). In my experience, once you load in a ~10mb pdf file it starts to get a bit slow, a 20mb one starts to get painfully slow, and +30mb pdf's can start to hang your system (then you need to do a hard reset).
Personally, there is no way I'd use and ipad (or PC) for a nice, long, enjoyable read.
Right now, this $259 DXG price is the best thing that is ever going to happen for a lot of lucky ebook readers imho.
Cheers,
Tom
