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!
Me too! Right now I'm actually going through my 1001 list to see if any have been added since the last time I checked (about a month and a half ago). I'm on G and I've found three, which is actually pretty good considering none are public domain and this would all be backlist stuff.
