How has the market changed since 2011? Is there a current list of top trending authors with a way to calculate revenue? Is kindle still a strong ebook platform to publish on?

It is still the ebook platform. Unless you publish directly in the web like Worm author Wildbow, but then you'll make money from Patreon (Wildbow makes $70k a year).

As a side-note, I can highly recommend Wildbow's books. I've read both Worm and Pact. The books are available to read online in full.

E.g. Worm: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/

Kindle is the platform where people pay money for books. There's lots of ebook stores, but Kindle is where the buyers are.
