Speak for yourself. Im American and reading is my favorite hobby.
Rather than something generalized like that, the reason LN do so poor in Western markets is because of poor marketing. They can't compete when the stuff they are releasing is so old. Most of the people interested have already read a fan translation somewhere else. Its the same reason manga does so poorly here.
