I read an article in some magazine, I don't recall which, maybe 30 years ago that said the reason newspaper columns were narrow was that research done long ago showed it let people read faster and more easily. I mentioned this in another thread in this forum a few years ago and someone said that had been disproven but i don't recall who said it or why or how it was proven wrong.
I thought in this thread it might be worth mentioning again. I know I read a bit faster with narrow text and even on my Kindle I've experimented with wide margins and they help me read faster.
I won't argue that this works for everyone. Reading is a very individual thing.
