Now you insist that if I dont have the data myself you have to be allowed to claim English speaking data really could be world data.
Not gonna happen. The claim you posted was fraudulent.
You and they need to simply say "as of this date within the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia" rather than worldwide when that is the only data you are looking at.

In the absence of hard data, there is industry expertise and past experience, market comparisons, experience, social buzz, and other indications that one case use to make an educated guess.
There are piles of indications to suggest that the market of English speaking countries for eBooks overwhelms the rest of the world in terms of percentages.

Do you have ANY rational argument for suggesting otherwise?
So far, we have only heard the Eddie Murphy "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" argument.
I can see an argument for "if you discount all the English-speaking countries, then the rest of the world has different numbers" but why on Earth would anyone do that?
