As a UK citizen, I find this pretty depressing. It doesn't mention what form of reading it's measuring, though. BTW, usability tip: if you have to write "Don't squint" next to something, that's a sure tip that you're doing it wrong.

Likely to be mainly fiction too.

On a more positive note: if you look at this list of books published per country per year, the UK does pretty well (even better if you divide the number of books by population) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_published_per_country_per_year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_published_per_country_per... It suggests there is at least an appetite to purchase books in the UK - even if we're not reading them!
