"Forty percent of the people in the US read one book or less last year."
This staggering quote is lifted from Steve Jobs keynote address at this week's Macworld.
He used the statistic as part of a put down of Amazon's eBook device, the Kimble.
Regardless of the context, it's still a worrying statistic, don't you think?

Judging from Jobs' past behavior in making degrading comments about someone else's product, this might mean that Apple is already working on a competitor.
I think the stats you provided go back a long time (and a lot of adults can't read or write that well either).
