thanks for that link. particularly interesting that they will be making their catalogue available in epub ; their customer service department doesn't know that yet... i've received a response to my query via their contact form :

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your interest in our publications. At this time we have no information available in our system in regards to offering our eBooks in the epub format or drm-free. This is the most up to date information available to the consumer services department.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Thanks you for your continued interest in our publications.

Sincerely,

Random House, Inc

Consumer Services

since they didn't know about epub, i'm just going to hope they also don't know that random house is dropping drm...

Do people think that mean just Random House titles, or titles of Random House imprints, too?

I'm really, really, really seriously hoping it means the latter; as Vintage is a Random House imprint...
that would really be brilliant, there are quite a lot of books published by Vintage i would LOVE to have as ebooks. more finger crossing in order, i suppose.
