Single-Column Bible Advantages

Scott W. Kay discusses the advantages of single-column layouts found in some recent ESVs:

I find that I read it faster, but with better comprehension. Stories read like stories, and poetry—like Job—reads like, well, poetry. The layout actually makes the Hebrew parallelism more obvious and clear. Job has yielded riches that I had not seen before. I can actually attest that the layout helped me see things I hadn’t before - simply because it got out of the way.

(We recently linked to some photos Scott took of the two-column Deluxe Compact Bible.)
