As it happens, back in the day I used to fly between Townsville and Cairns, and Cairns and PNG, more times than I can remember. While I used to appreciate the view and always asked for a window seat, I was more than happy to be seated next to someone who had their face buried in a book, rather than distracting me from my contemplation of the often spectacular scenery below.
My quip about your fellow passengers perhaps using their novels to distract them from their fear of flying was actually half-serious. Over the years when I travelled frequently, I came to the conclusion that this is the major function of the paperback page-turners that are sold in airports everywhere.
