Well, this is kind of "snarky." I would think that statistics about the land mass of the United States and the statistics about the percentage of U.S. eReaders in the world, probably don't coincide. But more importantly, the poster to whom you responded, specifically said
"in the US." If the OP doesn't live in the U.S. then -- obviously -- this doesn't apply to him or her.
I am from the United States and almost all eBooks I've borrowed from my local library were in Kindle format. Since the vast majority of eBook users in the U.S. use the Kindle, this makes sense. I'm guessing --
here in the U.S. -- that the number of Kindle eBook titles available for borrowing will eventually overtake those in the ePub format. So this is definitely something for
U.S. residents to consider.
