Sony announced earlier this month that book lovers and eBookworms have downloaded more than 10 million books from the Reader Store*. In celebration, all accounts with an eBook purchase from the Reader Store on May 5, 2010 will receive a $10 credit for future purchases on the store. The 10 millionth book downloaded was Digital Fortress, by Dan Brown.
In addition, Sony is marking the 10 millionth book milestone by announcing the 10 most purchased books of all time on the Reader Store:
- The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown
- I, Alex Cross, by James Patterson
- Breaking Dawn, by Stephenie Meyer
- Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer
- The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
- Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer
- New Moon, by Stephenie Meyer
- The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson

Judging by the top ten, one would be surprised that the 10 millionth book wasn’t by Stephenie Meyer!
