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

When you are tired, you feel less like doing something that takes too much energy.
Or it's that as you live longer, you change, your interests change and your priorities change. What the books gave you in your teens, they can't give that to you now.
It's entirely possible that there are books out there that will captivate you, as they are about topics that feel relevant to you. Or it's possible that for a while, you won't feel like reading quite so much, and this can/will come back at a later point.
I wouldn't worry too much.

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

I had that problem when I finished my Master's thesis.

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.

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