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? |

I never sugested disregarding the English speaking world.
Stop trying to put words in my mouth.
I suggested that while they might not all have expensive E-ink readers there are a lot of electronic readers around the globe reading electronic books and if you do not come up with a way to count them then pushing an ethnocentric assertion that your little group represents the world is not research, and it isnt reality its just jingoistic marketing blather designed to make some target group feel like part of some elite if they buy the righf product.
I reject the hype because it was misrepresented from the beginning.
