James Patterson Is Second Novelist to Sell a Million Kindle eBooks

By Jason Boog on October 27, 2010 11:19 AM

Not to be upstaged by the Nook Color, Amazon revealed that James Patterson is the second novelist to sell more than one million Kindle books–joining the exclusive “Kindle Million Club.”

eBookNewser has more: “Back in June, The Hachette Book Group said that Patterson had sold 1.14 million eBooks across retailers … Stieg Larsson, author of the Millennium Trilogy, was the first author to hit the 1 million mark.

What do you think? Will Amazon reveal more Kindle statistics now that Barnes & Noble bragged that they have sold one million Nooks?
