I really wanted to read it but it was too painful on my eyes... tons of text smashed together, taking up the whole page.

Fluid layouts are great, but there is a reason books aren't generally 12" wide. (hard for humans to keep their place on really wide texts)

Also, increasing the line-height of the paragraphs would help a ton.

I thought the line-height was fine. Agreed that reading long lines is harder, but luckily our browser windows are easily resizable.

Give the readability add-ons a try, if you haven't already.
