Perhaps they ignore the advances major publisher authors receive, instead basing statistics on the royalties authors would receive if they ever earned out their advances -- something they usually don't. If so, a lot of the statistics make little sense.
If BPH authors aren't selling on Amazon (and elsewhere), then the advances will continue to get smaller and smaller.
