If he is correct, why are digital sales so anemic?

Lower prices would be my first guess.
Nook's Pubit and Smashwords are likely making up an ever-increasing share of Nook sales.
Not a disaster.
But definitely alarming to Shatzkin and his BPH clients who may be seeing their high-priced titles supplanted by cheaper indie titles.
