I'll continue to edit the round-up to remove any that people mention have expired and add in any older book that turns out to still be free if I stumble across it.
But what I normally do when I manage to come across a new Sony freebie that hasn't shown up on MR yet is to post that book in a new thread, and add a round-up of all the still-available ones I can find after giving the details of the new book.
This helps keep things current, so people get alerted about a new book that may also turn up in a non-Sony store in the usual way free books get announced on this forum.
Even though I've only got a Kindle, I do try to help Sony users take advantage of the freebies they can still get that Sony just doesn't bother to tell them about and they might miss because a lot of free books get posted in Kindle or Nook-labeled threads first and there just aren't dedicated blogs or forums for listing Sony freebies like there are for Kindle and Nook or even a decent website list like Kobo has.
While people around here are very helpful in bumping them up with alerts if/when they show up at Sony, it still takes a special request to a mod to get the thread title changed to update which stores it's in and sometimes people forget.
Seriously, the Reader Store "Free Books" widget in their Bargains section has like, maybe 2 current promo freebies, and pads it out with a bunch of self-published stuff, while there's plenty of deliberate publisher giveaways that they could put up to enhance their store and show that Sony users can benefit from these special deals, too!
If a bunch of new Sony-compatible books turn up as addenda to other freebie threads, I think I'll edit links for them into the round-up and make a add a short post to let interested people know that it's been updated, like I've been doing for B&N's current Free Fridays holiday classic book-of-the-week thing.
Hope this helps.
