Charlaine Harris Joins The Million Club
0
When Amazon Kindle was launched a couple of years ago, there were a lot of people who were skeptic about the potential of the platform. Fast forward a couple of years and some authors are making a killing on this platform. Charlaine Harris is the latest author to join the “Kindle million club.” This is a distinguished group of authors who have sold over 1 million Kindle copies of their books.
When Amazon first unveiled the Kindle three and a half years ago, I would never have expected to be one of the first handful of authors in the Kindle Million Club. It’s been an amazing few years for myself and the Kindle both, but even more so to have my books available to my readers in ways that just a few years ago would have seemed as fantastic as vampires coming out of the coffin.
Kindle may have given popular authors another channel to use to reach out to their loyal fans but it is pretty powerful for independent authors too. Not everyone gets to sell millions of copies of their books. At the same time, Kindle has leveled the playing field a bit, giving smaller publishers a better chance to compete.
Regardless of how far Amazon has come with Kindle, this is still the beginning. There will a few more twists and turns before all is settled in the e-book industry.
