Display one way and print another...
Display as sidenotes for folks viewing the page:
+-----------------+
| main text block |
| |
| |
+-----------------+
+-----------------++-----+
| main text block ||side |
| ||note |
| |+-----+
| |
| |
+-----------------+
But change style to simplify for printing:
+-----------------+
| main text block |
| |
| |
+-----------------+
+----------+
| sidenote |
+----------+
+-----------------+
| main text block |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------+
Then margin not a issue and readability is maintained. I often have a
different style for printing that removes floats, use serif fonts,
removes navbars and other web access stuff like underlines for links
that are meaningless on the printed page, etc.

Take care,
