King & Tenopir et al's article in the April issue of Learned Publishing
(http://dx.doi.org/10.1087/2009208) looks at findings from 1307 faculty
members in 5 US universities.

They found that respondents read, on average, 22.6 journal articles per
month. Of these, 54.4% are from electronic sources;  68.7% of these (which I
make about 8.5 articles per month, just over 100 per year) are downloaded
and printed out for reading.

This seems more credible to me than Adrian's figure.  People would simply
not have time to read an average of 10 articles per day.
