And that's a good point.
You're 100% right.
Car is more efficient than horse (*) when it comes to transportation.
But when you eat it, it's a no brainer. I've never see people eating Fords.
So, my point is: compare different things on the same field.
And reading for pleasure is not aonly about efficiency.

(*) Things may change again. In my hometown, a Ferrari takes 450 HP to carry 2 people at an average speed of 7,5 MPH. A horse-drawn carriage takes 1 or 2 HP to carry 6 people at an average speed of 7,5 MPH. Which one is more efficient? Not to mention the cost of a Ferrari........
