The Girl Who Read From a Kindle

Amazon.com reports that Stieg Larsson, author of the internationally bestselling Millennium Trilogy, has become the first author to sell over 1 million Kindle books. To mark the occasion, Amaozn.com is starting the "Kindle Million Club" which recognizes authors whose entire body of work has sold over 1 million copies in the Kindle Store.

Kindle e-Books can be viewed on Kindle readers and on Kindle software for iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, PC, Mac, iPad and Android devices. They are still however DRM locked to the Amazon.com ecosystem and thus less useful than freely transferable e-Books.

In other Larsson news, Daniel Craig who previously played James Bond will star in an English language adaption of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and if that is a success adaptions of the next two books.
