Do people suddenly have more free time?
Are there people sitting home alone in their overstuffed recliners sad that they can not afford a book to read?
Have you heard of anyone unable to read books because of the cost?

People have the same amount of free time, but may choose to spend it reading instead of doing something else, as they've bought more books that they're looking forward to. Or because the lower price led them to impulse buy a book.
And there may be more readers reading more books as popular titles drop in price. It certainly works for music, DVDs, food, consumer electronics... well just about anything you sell.
