That's not true. Just like in every other time, many authors rely on multiple income streams, but book sales are an important part of that. Amazon would love for your assertion to be true, but we're not there yet.

Sorry...it is: "The median author income for full-time authors from their books was $10,000 in 2022" - https://authorsguild.org/news/key-takeaways-from-2023-author...
"Nobody makes money from books" - https://malwarwick-98471.medium.com/nobody-makes-money-from-...
Exceptions and wildly successful authors are just the exceptions that confirm the status quo.
