Of course there is, Amazon extensively tracks all sales on their sites. It would probably take them all of 5 minutes to run a report on sales of new hardcover vs new paperback vs all 3rd party/used sales for a given year.
I'd guess it's included in the figures. Used sales are generally around 15% of the US market, by the way. Again, your habits do not necessarily reflect what everyone else does.
