Random house to digitize thousands of books
Spurred on by expanding sales in an otherwise somber market, Random House is expanding the number of books in its digital collection. In a statement reported by the Associated Press, the company says that digital book sales have expanded exponentially, mostly due to Amazon's Kindle reader, so the time has come to make more of the collection available electronically. Excerpt's of digital books are available on the Random House website.
