92.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.

And even if a mediocre attempt at research is made, how much value can it have if it exempts known and applicable factors from the underlying data?

How much development of ereader software and hardware goes on in the former Soviet Republics, and in light of thst what effort if any is made to tabulate the extent of ebook use there?

If many of the books sold there are sold very cheap, does that make them not exist at all for the purpose of gathering world statistics on ebook use?
