Der Spiegel reports (original article in German):
Ab Juli wird dieser Pool nun nach konkreten Nutzungsstatistiken unter den Autoren aufgeteilt. Die kommen zustande, indem jeder einzelne Kindle-E-Book-Reader das Leseverhalten seines Lesers protokolliert und an Amazon zurückmeldet.
[translation mine] Starting in July, the pool of Amazon subscriber money will be shared among authors according to concrete usage statistics. The statistics will come from individual Kindle E-Books that will record reader behavior and communicate it back to Amazon.
Is this a model for content production in the future?

It's misleading because the headline makes you think that it happens for normal ebooks that you buy individually. It doesn't.

Could be especially misleading if you didn't read the summary or the article or the comments.
