I'm talking specifically about Landscape orientation. The lines are too long even with the largest margin settings (unless you increase text size). That's why Scribe, with its much larger screen, needs to support 2 column mode in Landscape: to make the lines short enough to read and parse comfortably with small to medium text sizes.

Even on 6-7" screens, the lines are a too long for me in Landscape, and so I hardly ever use it that way. But the screens are not quite large enough to where 2 columns would be comfortable, either. Amazon should just offer a broader range of margin adjustment (smaller, larger, and in between).
