Grief. I thought everyone had surely noticed this and maybe I was stating the obvious. But apparently not. I'm glad I posted.

To illustrate, look at the current number 1 best seller. Look at the top line of the review, "More than anything, THE WALK..."

The smallest that I can shrink it to is 30 words. That's about triple the average line word-count of the hardback pbook I'm currently reading. I haven't analyzed the page, but they apparently set a minimum width.

It's the minimum width that's the problem. Although two columns would be nicer.
