Why don't these books appear in the Sony eBook Store "Bargain Price" / "Free Books" listings?

If you're talking about
http://ebookstore.sony.com/category/bargain-priced, my guess is the free list on Sony is manually updated, so there would be a time lag between when the book is first available for free and when it's added to that list. We would know for sure if these two books show up on that list in the next couple of days.
I see the same issue with the B&N free list at
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Free...linkid=1549065 - but our BN crawler isn't as smart as the Sony crawler so we did not know about the two free BN books koland mentioned above (they just added one of them to the free ebooks list manually, so now we know). But we found the crawler fix this morning - will be patching it over the weekend so we don't have to rely on B&N updating their freebie list by hand, we would know as soon as these books are actually available for free on bn.com.
