Anyone else get motion sick when reading in a car?

I get sick when trying to read in a car. I usually resort to listening to music instead and sneaking pages during red lights and pit-stops

I never read or do anything in the car because I get nauseated. It really sucks on long car rides.

I can't read at all while riding in a car...the sea bands are also used if you take a cruise. I will have to try it on my next trip!

Only on curvy roads.

It depends on the length of the trip and the conditions of the road, but it's not uncommon for me. That's why on trips I prefer to listen to the books instead.

Yes, I do... I can read for 5min and then feel really bad afterwards.

Luckily I don't! My husband and I travel to his parents house, every month, and it's a 6 hour round trip. I like to spend that time reading, while the poor husband drives.

I always used to get car sick as well. E-readers are worse for me than a paper book. I finally learned a few tricks to help. I can only read in the front passenger seat. I have to turn completely towards the driver and curl up firmly so I'm not bouncing all over the place. I make sure to hold my book so I don't see the road. It also helps if the road isn't to bumpy. Hope that helps someone.

I get motion sick while reading in the car. It is horrible with the nausea and the headaches and I haven't really found anything that makes it stop completely but turning on the air conditioner and letting the cool air blow on my face helps with the headache some.

No as a matter of fact I love to read in the car it makes the trips seem so short and I don't have to worry about being bored.

No, I can read fine in the car. I don't feel or get sick. I guess it could make people feel sick though.

I can't ride in a car and read anything without getting seriously sick, this even includes things on my phone. I have horrible motion sickness. I can't even play first-person shooting games because of it. Don't even get me started on flying. I wish I knew a way to prevent it.
