I never skip the morphing descriptions (I think they're quite cool, actually), but I do have to plead guilty to skimming (not skipping) the intros after I got about 10 books in.
What's this about "rebooting" the series, though? I haven't heard anything about that...
EDIT: OK, I found some discussion from mid/late '09, but nothing newer than that. Does somebody have some juicy new info?

as you heard, animorphs is being re-released with new covers. hirac dilest is a great source.

we're not quite sure about how a possible 2.0 would come in place. i think they might be testing the waters.
of course, i'm probably just getting my hopes up. >_<

From the little I've heard, it sounds like that's exactly what they're doing.
Hopefully they rewrite #54, or at least bring Rachel back as some fanfic has done (there seems to be two main ways to do this: use the Time Matrix, or hope that the Ellimist or Crayak decides to do something useful for once). I'm probably just getting my hopes up too; even if they reboot the series (likely, IMHO), they'd probably just start where #54 left off and run with it.

If it's a common morph like seagull or tiger, I usually skip it out of boredom. Just like I skip the beginning 'my name is' paragraphs. But if it's a new morph, I like to read them. :D

I don't skip mainly because the books are too short already. ;)

I don't because the morphing often isn't the same.
Not caring about what's popular since 2006.

I only skipped if it was a re read. However on the first time i read every single detail. I know its the same morph sometimes but its supposed to be unpredictable. that means the description will be different. So i tend to read them. Some just make teh story more interesting. teh one where teh bone fingers come out before they turn ito wings was just awesome.

And they were awesome. For a while. But later in the series there was never anything different that happened during the morphing.

"And then a feather pattern appeared on my arms and face, and then I got itchy as it turned into real feathers. And then my face pushed out into a beak like a thousand screaming zombies pushing up out of the ground. Also, at some point I grew wings and my eyesight got better. It was like I could see the tapeworm in Mr. Chapman's stomach from across town, only not really. Finally, I felt the cold, calculating mind of a predator, ready to hunt some mice, only instead of mice, I was going to use it to hunt evil brain-stealing aliens. Did I mention that morphing is always different and disgusting? I threw up."

After a while they went from being unpredictable and disturbing to just being the same filler that could be used every book.
