Yes, we're still reading. It may not always be books - frankly, most of my news and computer knowledge comes from a screen these days - but we are still a literate culture.
Sadly, those numbers include morons who read "Going Rogue" (and seriously, I doubt 80% of the people who bought that piece of crap actually read it) and the douchebags who read Bill O'Reilly and Mark Levin hatefests. So even for those anti-intellectual nitwits, reading is reading.
Now if we can all just actually try to learn and grow as a result of the act, that would be something.
