Amazon.com lists 3 million plus books, so Kindle is <4% of the available titles. More pertinently of the last two dozen books I've read and enjoyed only half are available in Kindle format. Those that are available in Kindle format cost minimum twice what I paid for the used paperback, not counting the resale or trades I got for said paperbacks when finished. I've read ~100 books this year, the difference between $2/book and $10/book is substantial to me.
