50 Shades Of Grey breaks Kindle records with 1m sales | EL James’ racy debut book ‘Fifty
Shades Of Grey’ has become the first to sell more than one million copies for
Kindles. Online retailer Amazon.co.uk has said that she has already become its
best-selling author of the year, and the book is the biggest Kindle ebook yet,
the Daily Star reported. James - whose real name is Erika Leonard - has had colossal
sales for her erotic fiction books, with the paperback version of her debut achieving
the UK ’s highest weekly sale for a paperback. Amazon said the Kindle edition
of Fifty Shades was outselling the print book at a rate of more than two to one.
Her trilogy of saucy Grey books was published in March. The film rights have already
been snapped up. “EL James’s books have become both the fastest-selling and the
best-selling series ever on Kindle – that’s an exceptional achievement for a debut
novelist and we're excited to see her pass the one million sales milestone,” Gordon
Willoughby, director of EU Kindle, said. The print versions of her books - the
others are titled ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ and ‘Fifty Shades Freed’ - take the top
three places in Amazon's bestseller lists. James’s husband Niall Leonard has also
landed a publishing deal for his debut novel, a thriller called Crusher aimed
at young adults. Last week the paperback of Fifty Shades sold more than 200,000
copies to establish a new weekly record.
