Why be a jerk? Why is my pointing out Gollancz's deceptive claim any less important than your lauding of it? AFAICT, we probably could both be doing something more productive.
[QUOTE=DiapDealer;1671792]So, just who
is the world's largest digital SFF library, then?
I don't know. But I know that Amazon has ~70,000 SFF e-book titles, as does bn.com

I think you're needlessly getting hung up on semantics, here. It's subtle, but replace the word "have" in the above quote with "be" and I think you'll see what I mean. They don't claim to "have"... they claim to "be." There's a difference. I, and most others, don't really care about the distinction, but it's there just the same.
"Lying" is pretty strong language, but whatever.

The part I object to specifically is where they claim to be launching "the world's largest SFF library" when they are doing nothing of the sort.
