    I too find this extremely unpleasant on the eyes.
    on my 23 inch monitor at 1080p my character per line count is 223 (!?!!).
    My suggestion is to introduce an option for word wrapping at either 60, 75, 90 CPL (with the ability to disble it completely.
    Suggesting that readers should resize their browser to be able to read news properly is completely ridiculous and you should even consider removing it from the knowledge base article.
    I can imagine that you're getting a lot of requests for features now that Google Reader is set to shut down and people's preferences may vary, but try to provide more options, especially when they make the difference between usable and non-usable.

    Some resources :

    http://psychology.wichita.edu/surl/usabilitynews/72/LineLength.asp (ironically also hard to read on a large monitor)
