The categories that have increased the most in this period are Fiction and Literature, Biographies, Religion, and Health/Mind/Body. If Sony were to continue adding about 800 titles per week, as they have done consistently since September, they would have over 70,000 ebooks for sale by the end of this year. This compares to about 95,000 ebooks currently for sale by Amazon for the Kindle.
I know it's not quite the same since they aren't available from Sony directly, but if you add the Multiformat titles from Fictionwise, most of which are part of that Amazon number, then there is a higher number of titles for the Reader than there first appears to be.
