Random House To Offer Mobile Phone Content

Random House has invested in a company that distributes content to wireless phones. So will books be offered? “This is the first step, and we will probably see a lot of other content from Random House and Bertelsmann being offered to mobile users. One hurdle, however, is the confining nature of the mobile interface, which does not lend itself to reading books, for example. But this will probably be a lot more compelling when they start offering content from the Bertelsmann channels.”
