Janet Evanovich and Kathryn Stockett have each sold more than a million Kindle books, joining what Amazon has termed the “Kindle Million Club.”The authors join Stieg Larsson, James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Charlaine Harris, Lee Child, Suzanne Collins, Michael Connelly and John Locke, who have also passed the million mark in sales of their eBooks in the Kindle Store. According to the release, Stockett is the first debut novelist to reach this milestone.
Evanovich’s latest novel Smokin’ Seventeen has spent more than 100 days on the Kindle Best Seller list. Stockett’s novel, The Help, has been No. 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list and was just adapted into a film.

While I admire the achievement of all the Kindle million sellers, Kathryn Stockett's is particularly impressive, as it's for a single book.
I was reading an interesting article about Stockett recently. She had *60* rejections from agents before one finally accepted her - and that agent sold the book within a few weeks. A credit to perseverance. I'm glad she kept at it, as I enjoyed reading the book. :-)
