Maybe I'm odd, but I generally prefer reading stuff on a computer, especially if it's computer-related material (search is invaluable and paper is cumbersome).
If you find reading on a screen difficult, I'd recommend turning the room light on, positioning your screen so you don't have a glare or reflection, blowing up the text, and sitting at a good distance from the screen.
