This is misleading… authors very much rely on new book sales, especially in the first few months of release. It determines not just their revenue but their future opportunities and contracts.

I never said anything about that? I'm only commenting on the fact that authors don't make much per book, even if the price is higher. Yes, early sales are very important, I agree, which is why I never once even remotely implied the opposite.
