E-book sales are booming and Random House Inc. is reacting appropriately by digitizing thousands of tomes, increasing its digital library to around 15,000 titles.

Matt Shatz, Random House's vice president for digital operaions, points to triple digit increases in e-book sales in 2008 as the reason for the company's ramped up digital efforts. The new e-books will be available in the coming months with novels by John Updike and Harlan Cohen among the featured titles.

Ebooks still only account for 1% of the overall market, but the times they are a' changin'. Of that there is little doubt. [From: USA Today]
