I cannot focus when reading text off a standard computer screen

I can read text on paper quite well, but when it comes to reading a wall of text on a computer screen, the task is rendered much more difficult to me. Is this normal?

    My eyes automatically skip any large condensed paragraph on the computer, and yet I can read 500 page books. I don't know...

    On a PC screen I don't like to read either but have read dozens of ebooks on my iphone. I believe it's got more to do with laying back on the couch vs sitting upright on a desk chair.

    it's because you might need glasses to focus in

    Yup, happens to me too. I can read school stuff and short essays, but when I started reading novels in PDF it just didn't work. Which sucks, cause I spend a lot on books, so digital formats could work so well for me.
