That is noticable.
Yes, they'll be able to see that the non-agency market is growing, but they'll also see that general demand is growing and lifting agency publishers along with it. Even if a percentage of people don't purchase agency books, the overall rise in demand will continue to increase the market for agency titles, therefore, as I said, "Just don't buy it" won't matter much if at all until the market matures.
