I can read in a moving vehicle as long as I am lying down, like resting my head on a pillow.

I have since I was little. I found that it's slightly better when I use an E-reader but not enough to risk getting motion sickness. It's terrible when I'm on long car trips. I just want to read!

I get very car sick when i am reading in the car. Although that has yet to stop me. I usually just end up taking multiple breaks and then going right back to where i left off.

I get carsick for no reason at all sometimes but most of all if i try to read. Not just my kindle its when I read any book. Sometimes go on long trips and like to read (in passenger seat of course

) I don't know why but if sip on lemon juice it helps. I just purchased the little lemon juice container that looks like a lemon and take little sips when i start to feel ill.

I get motion sickness while reading in vehicles too, but it really doesn't bother me that much unless the vehicle s going up or down a big hill.

I didn't as a kid, but I do now if I read for more than a few minutes. It's too bad because it used to be my favorite thing to do on long car trips.

Only when I'm in the front seat and the car is going off a cliff.

I am the only person I know who reads in a moving vehicle. Everyone else says it makes them sick. I would love to find a solution for all who cannot read while riding. So much time wasted.

How about books on tape? They could listen and motor safely too

Ugh I get so sick when I try to read in the car and its terrible!

I hate when I'm stuck in a car for hours and I can't read no matter how bad I want to cause I know I'll probabky throw up. My motion sickness has always been bad but as I've gotten older its gotten worse. I can't even look down at the floor without feeling sick.

I have suffered with it all my life and have done some research as I get sick even without reading or looking down. It is to do with your eyes are registering something different from your brain and also there is a theory about your middle ear and there is no cure, you are a person who gets sick or you don't, my daughter suffers the same and my son has no problem at all.

I have tried all types of remedies but none work completely, however I do not get air sick or sea sick - very odd.

I have the same problem. I get headaches and also feel nauseous when I try to read or write in a moving car! If the car is still, then I don't have a problem.
