Actively increasing the percentage of books available in digital format to Amazon Kindle customers.

Leveraging print-on-demand technology to make their books perpetually in stock and available for faster shipment by printing them when a customer places an order on Amazon.com.

Providing high-quality and authoritative ONIX data that helps Amazon.com customers easily find and discover their books.

Consistently strong participation in Amazon.com's Search Inside the Book feature, which grows sales by allowing Amazon customers to find and discover their books by searching within the content of those titles.


"This gratifying second annual recognition from Amazon of our productive distributor work in 2009 is a greatly appreciated recognition of the Random House Publisher Services group under the leadership of Jeff Abraham; our dedicated in-house Amazon sales team; our Random House, Inc. distribution, fulfillment and operations colleagues; and of course, the excellent publishing by Random House's distribution clients," said Stuart Applebaum, spokesman, Random House, Inc.
