Thank you both for your replies. It's much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I cannot use Sony because I'm in the UK so that's out

I just had the Fictionwise weekend offer and saw a book I fancied, but obviously BoB/WHS might be the better option in the long run for formats that are immediately compatible and don't need altering.

Then format shift the DRM-free ebook using Calibre. The most widely recommended format for this purpose is MS Reader (LIT), however you need a Windows PC to buy Secure LIT ebooks.
^^All of this stuff has just gone right over my head. Sorry
