Sony certainly hasn't been aggressively adding new titles to their store and, in fact, they slowed to a rather modest trot six months ago and appear content at that pace. Meanwhile, Amazon has been very aggressive at adding new titles. I think that if Sony doesn't get out of the ebook selling business and pass it on to someone who really wants to sell ebooks, then Sony will become irrelevant - another device in someone's collection of antique electronic hardware in the basement.
