Why does reading in a moving car make some people nauseous?

How common is it? And is there any way to stop it from happening (apart from not reading of course)?

    motion...inner ear...equilibrium. Google any of those to learn more.

    Dramamine is an over the counter drug used to help this. There's also a patch available, I think for this. Ask the pharmacist.

    Its called motion sickness. It is common for some people. Make sure you breath clean air and sometimes people use a motion sickness pill to ease the feeling of being nauseous.
