Limited text width to improve readability
Google Reader uses a max width for entry text, presumably to improve readability. This makes it easier to read posts, as the eye does not need to move across as much of the screen to get to the next line. Essentially it makes the text width similar to a novel.
.entry .entry-body, .entry .entry-title {
max-width: 650px;
}
