Up to a million will be sold today, said the printers.At Saint-Lazare train station in Paris, a long queue was already snaking outside the newsagent at 6am when it opened.
“They should have got more copies in today. I can’t keep up with demand,” said Marie-Claire, the owner, told AFP.

Stefan de Vries, a French journalist, writes on Twitter: "There are still copies of #CharlieHebdo available. On @eBay. For €100,000."
09.05 Iran has said the new magazine cover is "insulting" and "provocative". The magazine cover "provokes the emotions of Muslims and hurts their feelings around the world, and could fan the flame of a vicious circle of extremism," said foreign ministry spokesman Marzieh Afkham.

08.33 The controversial French comedian Dieudonne has been arrested for being an "apologist for terrorism" after writing a Facebook comment suggesting he sympathised with one of the gunmen that attacked Paris last week, a judicial source told AFP.
08.26 As news agencies and reporters in France suggest the magazine is due to sell out before dawn, Henry Samuel reports print run will increase to five million "due to demand".
In Turkey, the secular daily, Cumhuriyet, said police stopped trucks before they left its printing centre to check its content. It comes after the paper chose to print a few of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons.
Today's Zaman reports the newspaper said the distribution was allowed to proceed "after verifying that the satirical French newspaper's controversial cover featuring the Prophet Muhammad was not published".
Security at the daily - which published four pages of some of the cartoons to show its support - has been increased at its headquarters and printing centre.
A woman working at a kiosk in Gambetta metro station in Paris told AFP how quickly copies sold out - 450 within 15 minutes.
"It was incredible. I had a queue of 60-70 people waiting for me when I opened at 5.45 am. I've never seen anything like it. All my 450 copies were sold out in 15 minutes."
07.46 The Telegraph's Henry Samuel says today 500,000 copies will be published in France and there will be another batch on sale this Friday. The total run will be three million.
Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, told Fairfax radio's 3AW he "rather likes" the cartoon depiction of the Prophet Mohammed on Charlie Hebdo's latest cover, adding that it represented a "spirit of forgiveness".
Quote Now, I rather like that cartoon. I'm not sure that I would have liked everything that Charlie Hebdo produced but this is a cartoon of the prophet with a tear streaming down his face saying all is forgiven.
"That spirit of forgiveness is what we need more and more in this rancorous modern world."
