I think there are two classes of buyer here. There is the occasional reader who needs any old book to read on the airplane or at the beach. That kind of reader may pick up any latest bestseller, like a Patterson book, and may buy a few per year as needed. Then there are those who only buy a book to be part of a cultural event, and it's only books like "50 Shades of Gray", or "The DaVinci Code", or some similar phenomenal bestseller. For the latter class, there is no substitute for the book they want, and they only buy one every year or two when some book is all the rage among non-readers.
