Sony says they have 500,000 free ebooks from Google.

But when I do a search of inauthor:John using the Sony ebook library software I only find 171 free books.

The exact same search at Google finds 78,309 free books (or 1,480,214 total books).

Since Google has about 1.5 million free books that suggests that Sony has less than 10,000 free books -- not 500,000.

Could someone please be so kind as to let me know what I'm not understanding. Surely Sony and Google are not lying to us.
