USPS Hates Netflix Envelopes
I think that the amount of inventory (total stock of DVDs) sent out to customers daily is: (1 million DVDs shipped per day) divided by (total stock of 40 million DVDs). According to this calculation, 2.5 percent of the total Netflix inventory of DVDs is shipped out per day.
The 35,000 titles in distribution divided by the 45,000 total titles available indicates a broad range of demand (customers aren't just watching the top 100 blockbusters), in terms of customer taste. It doesn't really indicate how empty the warehouses are (see the previous paragraph for an indicator of that).
Of course, I suppose much depends on how one defines "inventory" in this context.
