Which is more profitable?

One author's experience with selling e-books through his publisher and through his self-published kindle sales. He shares numbers--both e-books sold by title, and his income from those sales.

I wonder if his experience is similar to others'  or different?  And how many authors can make that comparison at all.

Hmm...

Not the same branch, but the same conventional/innovative type of comparison: Last year, 1/4 of my poetry sales went to traditionally edited markets, and 3/4 went directly to my audience online.

Another part of what fascinated me was the various differences in income not just number of books sold experienced in the same time period by the same author.
