I only get motion sick reading in cars; boats have never been a problem and I can stay in a gravitron until my legs turn to jelly and still walk a straight line. If you are like me, it is no actually the motion but the blur of peripheral images that causes the sensation and that can be averted somewhat. When I speed read, no sickness, probably because I hyperfocus when speed reading and do not see anything beyond the lines on the page. That does nothing when reading road signs but I do not get motion sick reading road signs. The other thing that helps is just relaxing the eyes and keeping focus soft. Take a moment every few minutes of reading time to look around and casually appreciate the scenery beyond the vehicle. And do not forget to breathe -- in through the nose, out through the mouth. There is a physiological response to the strong inhalation of air through the sinus passages that helps relax the eyes and alleviate dizziness.
