The font width is not an issue. That is what is is based on the font. Reading is better when we have kerning and hyphenation. Though one thing with pBooks is most fonts display with enough weight. With eBooks and eInk Readers, the fonts might or might not have enough weight.
But how is it decided to change from serif to sans-serif and decided that left is best?

I almost only read German books and hyphenation is not quite as easy as in English - and a wrong hyphenation and unevenly long spaces tear me out of the action more than short lines.
And words in sans serif have clearer typefaces than those with serifs, which are only helpful if you read progressively line by line, but do not record half a column (quarter page) at a glance.
I read a paper book completely differently than an ebook.
