The US is also by far the largest ebook market.
Especially in revenue terms.
(China may or not sell more units but the prices are way lower.)
It's not how many people trample the ground but the size of the active market and that hinges on culture to a great extent. There's entire countries where hardly anybody reads for entertainment.
Try this:

Notice you can barely see SouthAm or Africa.
That billions of bodies, barely any sales.
If it seems like the history of commercial ebooks is obsessed with tbe US it is because that is where the history is happening.
