I like thin reading columns myself - as I understood there were not created for practical reasons, but to make things easier to read. And I think they do just that - it's far easy to skip to the next line and know which line you're on when the reading column is thinner.
- sgdesign 15y agoThe width of the column and the number of columns are two completely independent things. You can have a single, thin (the ideal size is about 10-12 words) column sitting in the center of the page. You don't need to stick another column next to it just to fill the space (which, unlike a print newspaper, we have plenty of).
- shawnc 15y agoYou're right, putting columns next to each other is unnecessary.
