@szbalint This is true. The forensic pathologist's name is Pétur Guðmann Guðmannsson. He did a few seminars for crime writers via the continuing education centre of the University of Iceland where he's an assistant professor
I don't think he does the seminars any more but AFAICT he's still answering email questions from writers
CBC did an interview with him a couple of years ago https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/iceland-forensic-pathologist-1.6911486
In my experience, Amazon has never sold books in my field (professional non-fiction). Almost every sale I get has been driven by my social media or website. If anything, when I've pointed them to an Amazon page instead, the conversion rates have been lower, on top of me getting a smaller cut.
Decided to unpublish the ebooks I had on Amazon. They were only selling 2-3 copies a month over there at best, anyway.

That thing where you don't really wanna say it, but kinda have to: I told you so.
ETA: ugh. Truly not a good article. Sorry.
