The general public doesn't read much. I would like to say that many people are reading genre fiction. But then, I am reading genre fiction and choose my books out of a specific genre I want to read. Obviously there will be a lot of others that also read that genre. What I cannot notice is who is NOT reading that specific genre. So I couldn't even tell how popular a specific genre is overall.
I am reading more Indies than I used to prior to having a KU subscription. And that is a trend that happened because I started subscribing to KU ( mainly for my better half ). She reads more than me and she likes Romance, so KU is a good fit. Looking at the amount of books in Romance, it is a safe bet that it is the single most read genre overall.
