<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1202/amazonkindle4.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Random House helped set a possible precedent for e-books in libraries late last week after it agreed to a deal on lending.

The deal was portrayed to Publishers Weekly and others as giving authors fair compensation ...]]></description>

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1103/randomhouse.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Some Random House books are beginning to appear in the US iBookstore, a report says.  While only a few are present so far -- Randon House Webster's Pocket Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation being a given example -- the shift indicates that Random House has indeed made concessions and become the last major publisher to support iBooks.

<description>&#60;img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1102/ipad-10.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /><![CDATA[Random House on Monday said it would switch e-book business models in what's likely a sign of a deal for Apple's iBookstore.  The publisher planned to switch to an agency model, where it will set the price and a given bookstore takes a flat percentage of the sale.  Its switch takes effect Tuesday and will help it "forge new retail relationships" as well as expand its overall e-book sales....]]></description>
