The watches I agree, they're too small. But floating the text in your field of vision is perfectly reasonable, it's the concept behind a HUD.

The Google Glass is sorta general purpose, in it's own way. It at least is not purpose built for reading specifically. So it does a couple things OK, but nothing super great (except for being it's own thing). Reading on it is fine, but you have to look to the upper corner and it cannot display much text at a single moment. It would be kinda like reading e-books on an really early Palm that could only be viewed from an up and to the right angle. Doable, I suppose, but torture for most people.
