I've been reading A Clash of Kings (the sequel to Game of Thrones, a big
long fantasy book) on my laptop using nothing but evince and redshift,
and I have no problems with it. The only thing I could want is slightly
better scrolling via space/backspace (like Readability has), but that's
minor.

The glasses aren't for reading so much as prolonged monitor use. They're
marketed towards programmers and video game players. Apparently they're
popular in "major league gaming." They've been great for me -- they're
great at preventing headaches and have totally eliminated the eye strain
I used to have. That said, I don't know of anyone getting a grant to
publish an evaluation of them in a peer-reviewed journal.
