This suggests that young readers who have not mastered reading online, as well as readers who have vision deficits, may be most benefited by having shorter line lengths. The 4-inch lengths were also preferred over the other lengths. However with no margin widths, the 8-inch line lengths had the fastest overall reaction times. These results suggest a trade-off between faster reading times of the longer lengths and a more preferred reading arrangement of the shorter lengths. Possibly the best arrangement is somewhere between the two.
