Make Gmail Readable

I joined the Writing for Developers Book Club a few weeks ago.
This book club about the really great Writing for Developers is happening only by email. So I have a lot of emails to read.
But Gmail is not really great for this. It is displaying the emails on the whole width of the screen with a small font size and not a really good font.
I needed to improve the experience by making it more readable.

Using a chrome extension like Stylebot or Stylus we can add our own custom CSS. We configure a new stylesheet for the url https://mail.google.com:

Stylebot URL configuration
Stylebot URL configuration

And then we just have to add our css code:

}
