\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

The list of ten most sold Kindle books of all time includes novels by Ken Follett, Margaret Atwood, Dan Brown, and Paula Hawkins.<\/strong><\/div>\n

In a series of activities celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Kindle, Amazon has shared a list of 10 Kindle books that were most sold for each year since the launch of the first Kindle and the opening of Kindle Store. <\/p>\n

\n[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]<\/div>\n

The list was revealed in an article on This Week in Books<\/a>, a weekly feature covering book news and opinions, which is now a part of Amazon website.<\/p>\n

Every Kindle book on the list is No. 1 most sold title for each year between 2007 and 2017. So, until a more detailed ranking shows up, we are looking at the list of Kindle bestsellers of all time.<\/p>\n

What was the first big Kindle bestseller? It’s surely Ken Follett’s novel The Pillars of the Earth<\/em>, an opening story of the medieval saga from a Kingsbridge series.<\/p>\n

An interesting thing is (and we discovered it when working on the timeline of the Kindle<\/a>) that three days after the launch of the Kindle Store in 2007, Follett’s novel was the most popular fiction book on the bestseller list – and it took “only” position No. 6. Higher places were occupied by\u2026 newspapers and magazines.<\/p>\n

You will see on the list two books by Dan Brown, both starring Robert Langdon – The Lost Symbol<\/em> and Inferno<\/em>. The Girl on the Train<\/em> by Paula Hawkins was the most sold Kindle book for two consecutive years: 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n

The biggest Kindle bestseller of 2017? No doubt, this is Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Saying “Amazon reveals” would surely bring more traffic to this post, but the fact is these books are constantly available in the archive of Top 100 Kindle bestsellers<\/a> – a good destination if you want to find out what are 99 other books for each year.<\/p>\n

Which of these books have you read and when? Do you still own the Kindle you used to enjoy them?<\/p>\n
