I'm guessing that American folks who enjoy reading are indeed curious. I also suspect that you are indeed correct when you say that the public isn't curious, because the public doesn't read many books.

I remember seeing a survey about 2000 which showed the relationship between computer ownership and being a fan of the various auto racing series. Nascar came up zero. Their fans didn't own computers.

I suspect the same is true today with eBook readers. I'm guessing that a large percentage of the American public will never buy one because the device won't pay for itself, they read so little.
