This is from Wikipedia's huge solubility table of various compounds, so I can't be certain on reliability.

Sodium metaperiodate (NaIO<sub>4</sub>is much more soluble than
potassium metaperiodate (80g/L at 20C). Lithium should probably follow the trend and be even more soluble than sodium metaperiodate (greater than
80g/L)
Sodium orthoperiodate (Na<sub>5</sub>IO<sub>6</sub> is much
less soluble than the metaperiodate.

Here is some data for potassium periodate in g/100ml, I would expect the lithium salt to be slightly higher.
It might be a lot higher.
If the trend for the perchlorate salts hold for the periodate:
Potassium perchlorate is only sparingly soluble (1.5 g/100ml at 25 deg C)
While lithium perchlorate is very soluble (56.1 g/100ml at room temperature)
Sodium perchlorate is also very soluble: 209g / 100 ml
Lithium chlorate must be one of the most soluble salts in existence BTW, 372 g/100ml at room temp and an incredible 777 g/100 ml at 60 deg C!

Wow . . .really? I know that urea also has a ridiculous solubility, just done a recrystallization and couldn't believe my eyes when I looked up the
solubility data!
