In the past two weeks, Sony have added 650 new titles (a 1.5% increase) and they now have nearly 44,000 ebooks for sale at their eBook Store. Sony have averaged 96 new ebooks per day to their offerings since September and that number has been falling for the past four months.

Amazon's site today indicates that they have over 131,000 ebooks for sale for the Kindle with over 3200 new titles added in the past two weeks (a 2.5% increase). They've averaged 193 new titles per day since November and that number has been increasing for the past few months.

Meanwhile, over at MobileRead, 150 new ebooks have been added in the past two weeks (a 2.8% increase) to our collection of FREE (but legal) ebooks which now totals 5320. We've been adding an average of over 15 new ebooks a day since last fall.
