Brains Adapting to a Different Kind of Reading Style

I just read this article and it's intriguing and a little worrying.

I have to admit in the past few years I've noticed that it's harder for me concentrate on reading novels. I seem to enjoy it less than I once did. I used to put this down to my memory deteriorating since my younger years. Now I'm not so sure. I do still read a lot but most of that reading is online.

What experience has anyone else had with this? Do you think your reading style has changed? Can you still consume dense prose and convoluted sentences with relish? (assuming you ever did!)

BTW the article talks a lot about "screen v paper" but personally I think the real distinction is "online formatted text v straight prose" but that may be just me.
