Paper books are usually read by more than one person as well. Not at the same time, perhaps, but the result is the same. The persons reading a paper book bought by another person won't buy their own copy.
Actually, my family members borrow my paper books often. No one reads my ebooks besides me, because the rest of my family prefers paper books. So no, it's not a given that an ebook file is read by more people than a paper copy.
