Should it have been 'three times more Kindles have been sold this year than last year' ?

If I were writing it I would probably use "three times as many Kindles have been sold this year
as last year", but I think it would be correct either way.
My understanding is that 'as many...as' (including multiples - three times as many as) or 'more (or less)...than' are correct, but 'as many...than' is not.
