In the top 25 most popular authors at least 8 are indies. That is 33%.
By the way, the #1 author hires unknowns to co-author his books.
So not All best sellers are traditional.
You have put down every indie author named in this thread. You have also made assumptions about indies that are not true.
I am glad for some of the others in this thread.
