Some practical suggestions based on the problem:
1. Your speed has decreased. That's not really a problem, but if it's bothering you I'm sure there are techniques that you can use to increase speed - it's just a matter of rooting around the net to find what works best for you.
2. Your focus and attention span have gone down. The internet has done that to a lot of people. Try meditation - just do some breathing exercises and mind-clearing for 15-20 minutes (set a timer; otherwise you'll start thinking "I wonder how long I've been doing this?" ) and it increases focus and attention dramatically. Studies have shown it also helps retention of information (if that's important).
3. You get ideas. Write them down!
I guess, then, all I had a suggestion on was point 2.

Who else has (regretfully) lost much of their joy for reading, and what are your reasons?

I write most of my notes with pen and paper, unless it's a specific idea on a project I've started.

I still think the best solution is to just sit down with some Wodehouse. *NM*

It's more likely the internet, and, to a lesser extent, TV than it is games.

You're either too tired or you've simply outgrown certain kinds of genres/books

I had, to some extent, but then I started working with a 1 hour train commute each way.
