Re: what % of players read books

I think you are in the correct range here. I read an article recently that said that surveys showed that less than 10% of the people who buy a typical self-help book actually read the whole thing. It didn't say anything about how many of those changed their lives or behaviour because of it.
I see no reason to think that poker players are any different. If 10% of the people who buy a poker book actually read the whole book, and if 10% of those actually show significant improvement, you have 1%.

George Carlin does this great routine on self-help books. Basically, he says self-help is when you help yourself. Reading a book by someone who is helping you isn't self-help, that's HELP! (can't really do it justice here, but it is funny)
