Lots of people watch 3-4 hours of TV a day, every day, and people don't tend to suspect they're doing it out of work time.
Why should it be so hard to believe that on a forum made up mostly by people for whom reading is important enough that they even buy e-reading devices there would be many people who can spend 2-3 hours a day on reading? Some people have long commutes and get an hour in already while on the move; others just prefer reading to, say, watching TV in their "how to unwind after work" routine.
And to any average-speed reader, 2-3 hours of reading (fiction) a day should translate to 2-3 books a week, at least if they mostly read 300-500 page fiction books instead of only reading 1000-page books or more complex non-fiction.
80-100 books a year for someone who likes to read, reads at an average speed (say 50-60 pages an hour - there are plenty of people who read faster than that) and reads every day sounds just about right to me. I don't really see what there would even be to be suspicious about, really.
Obviously not everyone does that - plenty of people who like to read also like to watch TV or have family duties taking up most of their evenings or just like to take breaks between books, etc - but again, on a forum with mostly avid readers, 61+ books a year (a book a week plus ten more) is hardly shockingly much or a reason to doubt.
