Stieg Larsson Sells More than One Million Kindle Books   no comments

Amazon announced today that Stieg Larsson is the first author to sell more than one million Kindle books.  Larsson is the first member of a new “Kindle Million Club.”

All three books in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy—“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest”—are now in the top 10 bestselling Kindle books of all time. These three books are New York Times and international bestsellers. Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the magazine Expo and a leading expert on antidemocratic right-wing extremist organizations. He died in 2004, shortly after delivering the manuscripts for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” The U.S. editions of these books are published by the Knopf Doubleday imprint of Random House, Inc.

Earlier this month it was announced that James Patterson was the first author to sell more than one million ebooks, but that came from sales across all devices, not just from sales at the Kindle Store.
