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.

The only problem with reading off a laptop screen is the fact that pages
aren't that wide and you're constantly scrolling just to finish a single
page. If there's a way to prop up a 4-6lbs laptop, please let me know! :-P
Have you checked the ACM Digital Library for recent
human-computer-interaction papers or some similar SIG (special interest
group) that they have?

GIMP + GAP (GIMP Animation Package) can provide you the needed tools.
You can even configure GIMP dialogs and toolbar to look pretty much like Pixen
GIMP has a good set of tools for pixel art and work with indexed palettes.
To the rest: Although it is true that Ubuntu isn't 100%, I don't think
this thread is the place to discuss such thing. It sounds more
friendly to suggest a 100% libre distro rather than bashing people
because they don't use one.
In that case, I'd say that Trisquel is a good recommendation, since,
being an Ubuntu derivative, it provides the majority of the "user
friendly" features with 100% free packages.
For a user who doesn't need 3D acceleration and can live with a
partial Flash support, it's probably the best 100% free gnu/linux
distro out there for newcomers.
