True, but this is not the case with the current large e-reader screens, so I don't see how it applies.
Unless someone has problems reading a hard-cover book, they'll be able to enjoy the current large screens (such as the Kindle DX.) In fact, the 9.7" screen of the DX is still smaller than most hard-covers.
Magazines are considerable larger than books, and generally use smaller font size. Thus they use the two or more columns format.
