Cool Tips for reading on a laptop?

So, I'm new
Hi.
Introduced myself in the appropriate place, but hey, it's my second post - so hi again.

Right, anyway. Question.

I'm poor (by my standards), woefully poor. I quite literally can't afford to buy books any more, and having recently moved to a non-English speaking country... I'm having a hell of a time borrowing them as well.

Can't buy 'em for pennies, because shipping costs as much as a book. The same thing applies to the online book lending sites - still have to pay shipping. Sigh.

And I've run out of things to read.... Enter Project Gutenberg/etc
Saved!

But, reading on a screen - it physically hurts.
Is there a particular piece of software, or any tips, that anyone can offer, which will reduce the pain of reading a book from a laptop screen? Hopefully with the aim of being able to put in several hours of reading on a lazy Sunday, without too much strain?

Any and all replies are appreciated

Thanks!
