I used to get sick reading in cars or on the bus, but I seem to have adapted. A big part of motion sickness is that you're looking at a fixed frame of reference (even moreso if you're staring at a page or screen) while your inner ear tells the body it's moving, so I make a point of looking out the windows and into varying distances often--I don't know if it is actually correcting the issue or more of a placebo effect, but it works.
I see very few readers on buses or trains--certainly more people playing with phones. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone with an e-reader on public transport. The only place I can recall seeing someone else use an e-reader is a bed and breakfast.
