Those work on the browsers I've tested with...are they broken for you?

I'm not sure if you had a look since I adjusted the text sizing/spacing earlier today, so maybe take a second peek to see if you consider this a more comfortable setting for larger screens.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure where you got that 90 characters is optimum, but it really isn't. What works better is having 25% space on each side and the rest is the column for the article. This is for a wide screen monitor be it a desktop, laptop or tablet. What you have now works well for a cell phone, but not for a monitor that's HD or higher resolution.
I didn't actually notice the "↩" as being a link to go back. It's not obvious. What would work is recoding all the footnotes so the web browser recognizes the click as a proper link so going back works. No need to remove "↩". when fixing the footnote links.
What I feel you need is a mobile site and a non-mobile site. And for the mobile site, it should have a link at the top to switch to the non-mobile site.
