James Patterson, 100,000? Sure. Mr. & Mrs. North? Not so much.
I looked on the most popular tracker for ebooks, and his books range from 550 for the Michael Bennett series to 1,650 for the Alex Cross series. Obviously they will be downloaded from other places too, but that would be the first port of call for most people seeking them out specifically.
