Ah, see, I'm with the typographical types here.

The eye's move up and down much more easily than they move left and
right.  And it's been proven that if you keep the text to they right
width (instead of using the whole page just because it's there) that
people take in much more of what they read.

And then there's conversations about white space, leading, etc, etc.

The point is, you can try to cram massive amounts into a small (or
large) space, or you can focus on presenting this important information
in an easy to read and absorb manner, and I'm all for that latter.
