per se encourage people to read more. Not sure it's quite as clearcut as that.

Agreed. And there's a wider variety to choose from as well!

I've also found the same thing when showing my ereaders to people with dyslexia. It's interesting what you say about the red transparency - I've found it's generally been the people who were helped with the cool colour transparencies (blue, green) who seemed to get more benefit than those who had to use the warm colours (red, pink, yellow, orange), which I thought might be because grey is also a cool colour.
