You may be projecting.

This is pretty well-known if you follow global e-book sales at all. http://dhdeans.blogspot.com/2011/02/...ew-by-200.html

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?
So you are suggesting that the US doesn't really have over 80% of the e-book market because there is a large number of uncounted sales in the former eastern bloc? Anything is possible, of course, but it would be better if you provided some data.
