I'm sure that's wrong. If the most convenient way to get the book on your new device is to download it, that's how people will do it.
If all these people just downloaded 1 book to try out the reader or a couple of books they were actually going to read on the device there probably would not be this problem.
Just like a bank doesn't have enough cash on hand for every depositor to withdraw all their money in cash eReader's servers aren't designed to have enough capacity for every customer or even a portion of their customers to download all their books at one time.
