In sheer population numbers, there are ~300m people in the US, and ~6000m people on the planet overall. In terms of DTBs, I'm sure that this 20:1 population difference outweighs the wealth difference. In terms of ebooks, I don't have the data to know whether early adoption in the US offsets the difference or not.
