Random House and Online Publisher Agree on E-Book Deal

“An online publisher once sued by Random House Inc. for copyright infringement will be issuing electronic versions of books by Margaret Atwood, John Updike and other popular Random House writers.”

“RosettaBooks, which in 2001 angered Random House by putting out digital versions of William Styron’s “Sophie’s Choice” and other titles without the publisher’s consent, announced Wednesday it had agreed with Random House on the release of 51 e-books.”

“We’re bringing some terrific books and terrific authors into the electronic format,” said Arthur Klebanoff, CEO of RosettaBooks.” (from AP)
