Yep. A lot of people made fortunes in the early days of Kindle. Another example of a similar self published story is Hugh Howey's Silo series - post-apocalyptic sci-fi. From short story he published as an experiment to 20th Century Fox buying the film rights. Amanda Hocking made over 2 million from her kindle sales in less than a year. And there's a huge list of others. Not sure if Kindle is still the cash cow it was in its early days - seems like Amazon caught on and stepped in to put a stop to it. But it's still a very good outlet for no-names to get their work in front of tons of people without the need for gatekeepers deciding who is worth publishing and who isn't.
