It's called motion sickness.
Also called: Airsickness, Carsickness, Seasickness
Motion sickness is a common problem in people traveling by car, train, airplanes and especially boats. Motion sickness can start suddenly, with a queasy feeling and cold sweats. It can then lead to nausea, dizziness and vomiting.
Your brain senses movement by getting signals from your inner ears, eyes, muscles and joints. When it gets signals that do not match, you can get motion sickness. For example, down below on a boat, your inner ear senses motion, but your eyes cannot tell you are moving.
Where you sit can make a difference. The front seat of a car, forward cars of a train, upper deck on a boat or wing seats in a plane may give you a smoother ride. Looking out into the distance - instead of trying to read or look at something in the vehicle - can also help.

In other words, it helps to look outside. When you read you're not focused on the fact that you yourself are not moving but the car is and that can disturb your body because visually you're not perceiving that you're in a moving object and so your sense of equilibrium gets thrown out of whack, that's why.
Happens to a lot of us.

it might be the lighting. you can buy things that attatch to your book with a little light on it. it could also be car sickness.. possibly. you should take medincine for that too. =)

There's really two options.
1. Take some medicine for motion sickness, because that's what it really is.
2. Don't read in the car!

Take some medicine for your stomach before you do it. Your queasy stomach can also be from a headache. I get that a lot too.
When you're concentrating on reading and the car is hitting bumps and such it causes you to get a headache which usually leads to a stomach ache.
Try getting comfortable more and take some Pepto Bismol or some Excedrin for your headache, I'm sure it'll help.
