Columns work.
Thin, quick,
easy to read,
back and forth,
left and right,
columns.
e-paper,
designed in a nice,
1/4 size newsprint form -
buttons on the back,
maybe sides,
heck maybe a dismissive
accelerometer-sensed shake.
Skimmed with a glance,
while standing
shoulder to shoulder
in a crowded subway.
Not a big kindle, but
a blast from the past .
