It sounds like they're talking about Koboland, frankly, which makes it not quite so scarifying.
I've always read voraciously, but I was always in a minority at school, and more so thereafter. My son is in the same position.
Book Clubs have never swamped society, and an awful lot of people would never think of joining one.
A number of my acqaintances only read a couple of books a yea, but as Diap highlights, they always read newspapers & magazines.
It's only in relatively recent times that reading materials and sources have become readily available to use to "all", and I can't see ereading increasing that by much yet.
In my opinion, this is a meaningless guesstimate - but hey, it made me read it, so I wonder if that pushed up the average ?
