Actually, they both have geo-restrictions. From my part of the world, however, WHSmith is better.

Waterstones refuses to sell ebooks to my region. I wrote them an email to find out, since I couldn't find the relevant info on the site, and they confirmed that they won't sell here because of geo-restrictions.

With WHSmith, the restrictions depend on the book. When you get a list of books in a search, for instance, there is a little icon below the cover for the book that would say either "Available Everywhere" or "Limited Availability". If the latter, clicking on it will give a list of countries where that ebook is available.
