I just don't know about the entertainment angle. I can tell you that it's why I read, and I read a lot. Of course a lot of what I read also helps me in many areas of my life, but most of the drive comes from curiosity. If you really dig there are fascinating books out there, eons more interesting and entertaining than almost anything else, at least IMO.
My wife might be a good example of a non-reader. We've been together for 11 years and in that time she's maybe read about 10-20 books. She appreciates reading, but she'd rather be gardening, moving, or doing things that are more stimulating. The 20 books she has read have all served a very specific purpose. I've read.. many more, but it's mostly because I find them entertaining and interesting.
