 | | Meanwhile, Random House, the world's largest publisher of trade books, said it had come up with a business model for allowing people to pay to view its books on the Internet. |
 | | In what could be the first step toward major publishers offering their works online, Random House said it will negotiate separate agreements with online booksellers, search engines, entertainment portals and others to offer the contents of its books to consumers for online viewing on a pay-per-page basis. |
 | | Random House books will be available for full indexing, search and display, with up to 5 percent of the book available as free sample page views, but the books will not be able to be downloaded, printed or copied, the company said in a statement. |
