I have an irrational hatred of columns. My master's degree reading includes many articles in journals that use columns, and pieces from the 1800s which are in columns, and I almost always feel anxiety with opening them for the first time. I felt that same anxiety for this website. I think part of the reason is that actually scrolling a page with columns is a pain if you are zoomed in to make the text legible. You can't just scroll one direction on a tablet, you have to scroll down then back up and slightly over, scroll down again, then back up, etc. Sometimes you lose your place and have to zoom out to find what column you were previously on. Even then if I have the choice between a print book with columns and without (such as the Bible), I will always choose without.
