Stieg Larsson's 'Millenium Trilogy' Surpasses 1-Million Mark in Kindle Store

stieg larsson's 'millenium trilogy'Last week, we reported that Amazon had been selling more Kindle books than hardcover books. This week, the online marketplace has reached yet another milestone. According to Crunch Gear, deceased Swedish author Stieg Larsson has become the first author to sell one million copies of his books in the Kindle store. This makes Larsson, whose best-selling 'Millenium Trilogy' is known the world over, the first member of Amazon's aptly named Kindle Million Club. By selling more than one million digital copies, according to Amazon, Larsson's books are also firmly etched in Amazon's list of Top-10 bestselling Kindle books of all-time.

We haven't gotten around to reading the trilogy, yet, but judging by this news from Amazon, we're about the only ones who haven't cracked their covers. At this point, we might be better off just watching the movie. [From: Crunch Gear, via: Tech Crunch and Business Wire]
