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.

 CNN.com - Random House jumps on e-book bandwagon - August 7, 2000
The news certainly brought smiles to readers' faces (and perhaps a few others), but the company's push into both a new platform and a new format -- the titles would be longer than magazine articles but shorter than full-length books -- has put publishing startups in an uncertain place.
For digital-publishing startups, survival turned on two things: one, that established companies like Random House would wait for a robust market before fully jumping in, and two, that publishers, when they did go digital, would rely on startups for functions like marketing and distribution.
Unlike iPublish, Random House plans to sell the books through e-retailers including Barnesandnoble.com (in which Random House parent company Bertelsmann owns a stake).
