I took a peek (I couldn't help myself) and I see that Sony has added about 5000 new titles in the last month bringing their total of distinct titles to about 63,700. That rate of adding titles is a bit higher than their average rate for the past year and a half but the total available is still very far from the 100,000+ that was promised (back in early October) by this time. Amazon continues to add new titles at a much higher rate than Sony and is on track to reach a quarter million titles for the Kindle (including books, newspapers, and blogs) in a couple of months.
