Commercial maybe, and in the US, but this is mainstream every day people reading fiction. I was in a professional meeting yesterday (in Australia) from people all around the country and overseas, and the only other person in the room that new anything much about the kindle (or ebook) other than me, was a consultant from New York. So, as I said, apart from possibly the US, ebooks are simply not as prolific or mainstream yet as people would like to think they are.
Think about it, in cafes etc you see people reading magazines and books, but how many times do you see a kindle or other ebook? (And I dont consider typing on a laptop the same thing)

That is an interesting point then. If the rating system is that flawed, why then are people using this as a means to express their anger. Publishers will simply ignore them.
