Reading on Paper vs. Computer

I do find that taking the GRE on a computer bothers me.

When I prepare for the GRE, I read on the books most of the times, and kind of get used to thinking when facing papers. But the actual test is on the computer, in which I have to stare at the screen for 4 hours. It really annoys me, and I tend to feel that I underperformed in such situation. Do any of you have the same experience? How do you overcome this problem?

The ETS website has a downloadable program to help you with that: PowerPrep II. However it only has two practice tests.

New! POWERPREP® II, Version 2.0 Software: Preparation for the computer-based GRE revised General Test

In addition to the sample questions, strategies and tips available here on this site, this free software also includes two full-length practice tests. ***These timed tests simulate the test taking experience, including the test-taker friendly design features like moving back and forth and changing answers within a section, as well as the on-screen calculator.***

PrincetonReview also has one free practice test on its website: Free GRE Online Practice Test

I totally agree it's annoying to shift from paper to computer. I hope these links help! There's also the possibility that any study books you bought have a CD with practice tests on it, too.
