The author says others, like his wife's family, believe that authors on best sellers lists make millions.

Yes, but the article title makes it sound like the author got screwed even though he made the bestseller list.

$12000 isn't nothing, and Amazon has nothing to do with the results an author gets from their book in terms of units sold, except for providing search results.

Just seems like one of those attempts to get eyeballs to an article to me.
