Speaking for myself, my reading style has not changed one whit. In general, I skim news articles, whether they be in print or online. I can and do read long prose as easily as ever. In fact, I'm rereading Proust right now, in French. I have some advantages that not everyone else has in doing that, namely that I've read Proust a few times before, and I've spoken French most of my life.
I do find it easier to read Proust on an e-reader. It's my belief that the limited amount of text shown on an e-reader screen makes it easier to concentrate on those words than if the same text was printed in your average book.
