The percentage of women reading and amount of time women spend reading on the average day has dropped off too although is still quite a bit higher than men.
I think maybe podcasts and audiobooks have eaten books. I am always learning by listening stuff I would have read twenty years ago.

I'd wager those stats in the survey include a lot of audio "books".
