But how would you accomodate for different text size setting in the user's browser? Your calculated chunk may fit nicely with the default text size but may incur scrolling for larger sizes. I guess the issue of focus may depend on what type of content you are providing. Is it a text that you want the reader to read carefully or just scan? On second thought it may not matter what you as a publisher want. It is all up to the reader I guess. Jonas: Splitting text into reasonably similar chunks may be simple.

But I wonder if not a surfer loses his focus if you got a couple of pages instead of gathering all info on one page. Isn´t that a part of the success behind blogs?

Very innovative at the time. You can see a demo of it here: http://www.smokinggun.com/code/sg_layout.php (last updated in 2003), with the source code still available. The IHT eventually dropped the layout for the usual 1 straight col of text, with give-me-more-page-views pagination, and the 3 col view is available as a pop up option. Also, in what sense is consumption of information more "efficient" on paper vs screen? Higher comprehension, or higher recall ability or something like that? There was also some discussion about the Poynter Institute eye tracking study that suggested readers read more, or at least <a href="http://neilsanderson.com/?p=276" rel="nofollow">the same amount</a> of a story online as they do in print, so perhaps it depends on the kind of content & the situation (user motivation, method of reading etc).
