The Associated Press reports on Random House’s plan to expand their eBook offerings from 8,000 to 15,000 titles.
Random House’s vice president for digital operations, Matt Shatz, says e-book sales have increased by triple digit percentages in 2008, thanks in part to Amazon.com’s Kindle reader, but he declined to offer specific number. E-books remain a tiny part of the overall market, widely estimated in the industry at 1 percent or less.
With all this RH eBook activity, will Random House be next to join Hachette in adopting the IDPF ePub standard?
