I've always felt the same about thin margins on my e-readers...to use wide seems to be wasting space. But I'm going to set the margins wide on my Kobo Glo HD for the next book I start, and see if I notice a difference.
I am very nearsighted, and use a progressive lens. I can read without my glasses when laying in bed at night, with the e-reader about 6" from my face. A more narrow column will mean less eyeball travel.
When I use my iPhone for reading, I like using an app that allows scrolling. That along with a narrow column should be a pleasant experience.
Since getting my first Kindle in 2009, I've enjoyed reading again. I pretty much have given up on print books. The text is too small in paperback, hardbacks are expensive and heavy, and many books use cheap thin paper. The bleedthough on thin paper is a problem as well. I don't always need a larger font size, many times wider line spacing helps me more than larger fonts.
