Amazon has reported that The Hunger Games trilogy authored by Suzzane Collins has surpassed the sales record of seven part series of Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling. The editorial director of books and Kindle at Amazon, Sara Nelson has stated that no doubt Harry Potter made a huge sale in a decade since it was first published but The Hunger Games series which made its entry in 2008 has broken the sale record of Harry Potter series recently, making it the most purchased book in Amazon.
It is to be noted that this book has only three parts compared to seven volumes of Harry Potter and in order to achieve this success it is undoubtedly the popularity and sharing of positive reviews have played a charm. Also the sales of Amazon Kindle eBook readers have hiked over the time and as a result the high growth in the sale of The Hunger Games is largely contributed by the purchase of the digital copy of the book or eBook to read in eBook readers like Amazon Kindle.
A point to be added that, a sale of a book is greatly increased when a film is released in its title. Same was the case with Harry Potter as well as The Hunger Games; the movie of the title was released earlier in 2012 which was able to bring in a gain of $700 million from around the globe.
