Hugh Howey strikes again. He's created a website to share earnings information (traditional, indie, and hybrid). Stunningly awesome amount of information.
The secondary goal of the site is to help change the terrible terms and contracts offered by traditional publishing.

After seeing so many graphs of indie vs. trad publishing, this is the first study that really defines its sample and shows that it's meaningful. He addresses the population and makes it a level playing field. Hallelujah!

The other thing that's interesting is that this is just Amazon data. Sure, it's the biggest market, but there's still B&N, Kobo, Smashwords, etc.
