In the past four weeks Sony have added over 15,000 new titles and now have about 91,000 ebooks for sale for the Readers. That's a rate of 535 new titles per day compared to their rate of barely 90 per day which they maintained through all of last year. I've excluded multiple counts in the figure (i.e., books that might be listed in several different category are counted only once here). The new titles do not include the half million free ebooks that they now make available through their partnership with Google. Nor does the figure reflect any increase in the number of public domain Sony Classics (they still offer the same 952 titles that they did in 2007). As far as I can tell, this is a solid attempt to make up ground with Amazon - and it is making me very happy!
