Because I NEVER CLAIMED THAT EVEN ONE SUCH BOOK EXISTS!
Love how you still ignore the fact that you completely warped and misrepresented what I said, even when confronted with the black-and-white evidence.

Do you have an alternative theory as to why books became bloated and boring at the same time large quantities of people stopped reading?

Now it's a theory? Originally you presented it as a statement of cause and effect ("bloated and boring" books caused decline in readership). YOU presented the argument, it's up to you to defend it, not to try to turn it around on the person challenging you.
Suppose I were to say, "People who stand on their heads while reading retain more information than those who don't," and you then skeptically ask, "What's the evidence for that?" Would it make any sense whatsoever for me to respond, "Prove that they don't" and put the burden on you?
I'm done.
