With straight text though, trying to read lines that stretch from one side of my screen to the other is a pain. There's some reason that newspaper articles are written in columns, something to do with the eye not having to move too far left and right for each line, and therefore being easier to read.

Ah... I tend to resize my browser!
(So it's not so wide...)
Though I know many people like to "surf" online with their browsers on "full screen" size...
I think the answer to that is probably to limit the width of the text on the website. I haven't really done that with my sites - though I probably should!
Here's an example of a newspaper article which is at fixed-width. No matter what size you make your browser, the width of the text stays the same...
(It's an article about how eating beets can help lower blood pressure...)
