It's a fixed pool so Amazon pays out the same no matter how they distribute it.

On a per page model they may pay less on some individual titles and more on others but as the announcement says, the pool money will be divided by the total number of pages read. All of it.
Before, they didn't pay for 9% reads. Now, they'll be paying out on even 1 page reads.
