So, leave the choice to the user. If I want to read text in a small column, I can easily resize my window. Don't try to force one way.

No one reads well with 200 characters per line. Been demonstrated that they read a lot slower. Even if line height has been increased to alleviate, which it probably hasn't. I'd recommend multiple columns before super-wide text blocks.
