If you look at individual buyers, then the vast majority belong to the max 10 books a year group. If you look at the volume of books sold, then the 100+ books a year group dominates. I would wager that if a new Harry Potter book came out, then percentage wise, you would see a lot more paper sales. In the non best seller group, ebooks makes up more and more of the sales.

My consumption of books is well in excess of 100 a year. And in the past 3 years I have read one paper book. And that was a library book. I doubt I'm alone.
