In the past two weeks Sony have increased by about 6600 the number of titles they have for sale at their ebook store. They now have roughly 123,500 ebooks for sale which is still about 3,000 fewer than they had in early December before they made the switch to epub. Since the switch, Sony had been adding roughly 1000 ebooks a day which I assume meant that someone there was doing a batch conversion of about that many books every day and then they'd upload them to their collection. Well, that process essentially stopped this past weekend and they are just trickling in at about the same rate of 90 new books per day which are probably new titles.
So the question in my mind is "What about the 3000 or 4000 books that haven't been converted yet? Will Sony convert them or are they simply not going to be made available again?" I'd be interested if anyone finds any books that they bought in LRX (BBeB) format which are still shown as unavailable now (because they don't have the corresponding epub of the book).
