Exactly.
And while the numbers do indicate that for a given volume of Kindle sales, in dollars, a self-publishing author will generate more revenue for themselves than a commercially published author, they say nothing about the relative ease, or difficulty, of generating that volume of sales with a self-published as opposed to a commercially-published book.
It's just another example of people drawing a conclusion the numbers don't support, which is why I don't like this study.
