When I was younger and reading on the web, (the days of 28k modems) I didn't skim as much as a do now. I would put this to my inexperience of reading then (thinking that everything needed to be read). And that now there is a lot of crap on the internet. Its hard to sort out the good stuff that deserves attention. So i skim a lot.

But paper books are king. I tend to move slower through the text and have a more enjoyable time of it.
