No, Great Britain's not more 'literate' - after all, for every 100 d-t books we buy, we're buying 189 e-books.

Well, B&N are trying to adapt with integrating the nook into their B&M stores. But how does a B&M store stock ebooks on the shelves for customers to peruse? That's like saying CD stores failed because they weren't selling mp3s.
And for the record, I said the UK is likely more "literary" not "literate", though there's some humorous irony there.
I'd be surprised if the average American reads more than the average Brit (or any other European for that matter). How many TV channels do they have? How many do we have?
