It must kill these guys to hear e-books that have pulled millions and make money every day and will for years to come... even as others are released, a new book can be re-released in a new area online......
For your big name authors they can often make more than that, but for many that is the starting point.

That said if you start out and your first book sells 500K copies, chances are the advance on your next book will be in the millions.
