In the UK more people are reading books as this source shows, but it's
a very gradual increase
"http://www.booksellers.org.uk/industry/display_report.asp?id=490"
"http://www.booksellers.org.uk/industry/display_report.asp?id=488"
this small increase would suggest that more book buyers are just
buying more books. This also sugests it very likely these books are
being read & I personally have noticed far more people in book shops
here than in the past, & the number of book stores has rapidly
increased to meet demand. I also from personal experience see far more
people reading books in public places. This is not how ever solid
proof they are all reading books, but most of them are, book prices
would also help encourage the book sales & the chances of them being
read
