Rubbish. I wonder if Joe Konrath is going to expose this old chestnut as a Zombie Meme. Perhaps it is true of you, and no doubt you are not entirely alone. But for most people the opposite is true. "Best Sellers" are replaceable by other tradpub books. They are replaceable by Indie Books. And they are replaceable by and competing with other forms of entertainment. Even more so among your hypothetical two books per year people, many of whom would probably much rather see the movie in any event.
