Author Stieg Larsson becomes first to surpass one million sales on Kindle e-books

In a remarkable turn of events, the world of literature has witnessed a significant shift, with ebooks now accounting for double the number of sales compared to traditional printed books, according to recent reports. This surge in ebook sales can be attributed, in part, to the phenomenal success of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy.

Stieg Larsson, a Swedish journalist and writer, is best known for his groundbreaking trilogy, which includes the novel "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Published by Heyne Verlag in Munich, the trilogy has captivated readers worldwide, selling millions of copies and breaking sales records.

Larsson's novels have been a global sensation, with sales in the range of a few hundred thousand per day, according to estimates. The series' most recent instalment, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," was recently adapted into a film, further fuelling its popularity.

The Millennium trilogy has catapulted Larsson to the top of Amazon's all-time list of best-selling authors, a position he currently holds. He is closely followed by Kathryn Stockett, author of "The Help," which ranks number 2 on the same list.

Larsson's success is not confined to the printed page. His books have also made a significant impact in the digital realm. In fact, he has broken a million sold ebooks on the Amazon E-Book Store, exclusively for the Kindle E-Reader.

Michael Kozlowski, a writer specializing in audiobooks, e-books, and e-readers, resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. While Kozlowski has not been directly associated with Larsson's works, his extensive experience in the field offers valuable insight into the digital revolution sweeping through the literary world.

With Larsson's sales trend showing no signs of slowing down, it is not inconceivable that he could quickly become the world's all-time translated highest selling author in history. As the world continues to embrace digital reading, Larsson's impact on the literary landscape is set to endure for years to come.
