Sure, but what percentage of all the books being read in the world right now are calculus books? Or math textbooks? Or textbooks in general?

I think you're bringing up an edge case. Fiction and non-fiction books tend to be meant to be consumed front to back. A better edge case would be books with heavy endnotes, but honestly, those are handled better on my Kindle than with a physical book too.

For technical audiences like hackernews I would expect more textbooks than non textbooks in their library.
