With the release of the Sony PRS in UK, and the offerings of ebooks from Waterstones, I thought I would be able to buy them from here and load them.... this is not the case... I bought a ebook to try it with first.. but the format will not load onto PRS - i can get it into the library, but won't transfer. It is in a different format: EPUB. Whereas the ones already on my PRS are all BBeB...
Any ideas?

I am afraid I do not have good news for you.
You will not be able to open epub files using your PRS 500
Only the newer version - PRS505 can open that new format.
There was a discussion here about Sony contemplating providing firmware update for older Reader model - PRS500. We have written to Sony and asked for firmware update.
Sony told us, it is impossible to provide epub reading software for PRS500.
Instead they initiated a trade-in offer. If you return your old PRS 500 you receive $100 credit for buying new PRS 505. The offer is only valid in USA.
