You may want to experiment with something like:

  min-width: 30em;
  max-width: 50em;

I have some pages in place with directives like:

  width: 44em;
  max-width: 95%;

At least IMO, the appropriate measurements for the width of a text block 
are relative to the font size, not physical or pixel dimensions.
