Images there are 560 px width. I narrow it to 640 and it seems very nice to me.

Absolutely nothing. If you give me some time I will make your browser
remember your font size selection and your preferred width and show
you the page as you want it.
It is fine for you a fixed size for the page centered in your browser window?

there for you. I promise :)
