Though I think I really have to write some user CSS or a bookmarklet or something for pages like this, namely:

    body {
        width: 50em;
        margin: auto;
        line-height: 1.6;
    }

The Firefox Reader View is supposed to do that but it's way too narrow (30em I think) and way too often messes up some formatting essential to understanding the content.

Reader View being too narrow should get a fix in either the next release or the one after that, i.e. the fix is in Developer Edition, maybe already in Beta (I didn't check there), and a small change like that usually goes through Developer Edition and Beta in one release cycle each.

Basically, they now have a setting for that in the toolbox to the left, so you can decide yourself how narrow or wide you want it. They also added a setting for the line height, so even though you didn't complain about that with Reader View, you can now change that, too, if you should ever need it.
