I have noticed a number of things when searching for books at Sony.
First, the notify when new books arrive for a particular author doesn't seem to be working. I have yet to be notified even though the authors that I asked about have had new books. I do get the purchase receipts, so I know that my email is correct.
Second, a number of books are misfiled and you don't always get all the books when you do a search. I'm not sure how the website is setup, but more than once, a book has appeared on the new arrivals several days before it shows up on the author's books available list.
Third, I get different results depending on how I search for something. It's hard to put my finger on what's happening, but I've not found a book when I search for a title, but found it when I searched for the author. Very strange.
While the site is fairly quirky, there is no doubt that they have added quite a few books in recent months, especially backlist books. I've been able to find several old favorites as well as pick up a couple of older books that I had heard of, but hadn't read. That's pretty important given the scarcity of new SF books over the last several years (non-romance based werwolf/vampire books that is).
