Hi Eric,

That's some helpful info. Didn't realize there were many who read from 40+-inch distances. That's a new factor I should plug into my own design calcs. The key point in my argument towards limited width flexibility is the word count per line (or "length of line"). Not that a widely variable box is *bad* per se, but generally it's secondary to (and potentially inhibits) good word-per-line count. Perhaps both could be accomodated.

Do you do a lot of reading on larger, article-oriented sites like New York Times, WSJ, Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, Nat'l Geo, or others? If so, do some work better for you than others?
