Thinner columns allow for more of a "Z" pattern of reading, where you can kind of scan-read backwards when your eye scans back to the left, as opposed to the standard "E" style of reading of reading an entire line, returning to the left, then moving to the next and repeating.
Writing in thin columns allows you to keep an eye on what you just wrote more easily as well.
