I really question how big the market in people who know nothing about the game and just one day decide to buy the game is.

On the general release rate, the one advantage 4e has as a sustainable model is that each book is fairly narrowly tailored. A book either really helps you, or is completely irrelevant. In addition, the compendium is a good alternative to splat book purchasing.
