Stieg Larsson First Member of the Kindle Million Club

Posted on August 5, 2010

Amazon.com announced that Stieg Larsson, author of the posthumously published Millennium Trilogy, has become the first author to sell over 1 million Kindle books. Amazon.com says Larsson is the first member of the new Kindle Million Club, which recognizes authors whose entire body of work has sold over 1 million copies in the Kindle Store.

"Larsson's books have captivated millions of readers around the world and ignited a voracious interest in the lives of its main characters Lisbeth Salander and Michael Blomqvist," said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President of Kindle Content. "It's been exciting to have been a part of introducing so many people to these great books."

All three books in Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilog are now in the top 10 bestselling Kindle books of all time. These three books are also 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 in the series.
