Even if you are not charged with the crime, you have done the action that by the letter of the law is a felony.

Then there are the "process" crimes. Failure to report a crime, is a crime. So if you don't report your neighbor for throwing away the junk mail, that is a crime as well.
I think the author of the book is being conservative (underestimating instead of RW), but I might have been too generous. It might only be three felonies in a day, but the point is we are all doing them without knowing it.
I'm going to presume that you are not intending to argue with the lawyers who wrote the book. Harvey Silvergate is a Civil Rights lawyer, and Alan Dershowitz is a well known defense attorney and political commentator. Since I am going to assume that you don't associate Civil Rights lawyers and Defense attorneys with RW propaganda, what do you base your rejection of this information on?
If I am wrong, and it is only three felonies a day, then I am guilty of overstating the problem by 33%. If you are wrong, you have understated the problem by 100%. Which of us is more wrong? The book talks about Federal Felonies, I just said felonies, and there are more state laws than there are federal laws, there are after all 50 states.
