Comparing streaming of books to streaming of music or streaming of TV/Movies is comparing apples and oranges. I don't think any past data will prove very relevant. For one, the context is completely different with regards to time for a read. I'm not just committing a couple of hours like a show, movie, or music. I need to commit longer. I'm less likely to just pick up a book on a whim, like I will a song, TV show or movie. The commitment is just not there.

If anything, the book streaming service will be more like a gaming streaming service than anything. I actually think this would benefit a lot of the smaller writers who might not get as much due to the "no harm no foul" of streaming a book I don't like.

The point of the article is that "streaming" books will be different than streaming music and video.
