A combination of surveys that give who many books a year people read and observation. If you read 12 or less ebooks a year, then odds are pretty good you aren't reading on multiple devices. I know at least a dozen people who read ebooks and all except me use only one device. In addition, in 2014 according to a Pew survey, among all ebook readers who were 18 or up

57% used a dedicated e-reader
55% used a tablet
29 % used a computer
32 % used a cell phone

A different survey shows that roughly 27 percent of the people surveyed read ebooks, The average college education person reads around 17 books in a year.

Those surveys indicate why there isn't a ton of ebook management software out there. Most people simply don't have enough books to need it.
