You might have skipped statistics class in school...
At the end of the day there is a limitation to how many books a human can read in a year/month/day/nano second. Add to that the number of people that consume massive numbers of books is positively tiny. Now add in that the number of books being written is increasing far faster than the amount of reading that is happening on average (which i believe is decreasing due to other forms of entertainment).
