Not as hard as you make is seem, but with your mindset illustrated by
your posts enlightenment would be wasted.

Not my preference, but more and more folks are sold on Job's gadget.

Not everyone has IE.

The point is that if your page can wrap the content, especially when
textual to accommodate the width then it is easier to read on displayed
devices. Electronic reading ergonomically prefers vertical scrolling as
opposed to horizontal. Form follows function. Newspapers are the size
they are because it is the maximum size of paper that an average person
can uncomfortably hold up and with outstretched arms turn a page. Making
it smaller cost more in fabrication, increasing the size makes it
uncomfortable to handle. Web media is has different physical constraints
and by the nature of how it is used, vertical scrolling is preferred
over horizontal.
