An epub reader does seem to be what you need.
When buying a commercial epub e-book, it does pay to shop around, since the price can vary quite a lot: some major retailers are:
Waterstones.com (my experience is that it is often one of the more expensive retailers)
WH Smith (currently selling some titles quite cheaply)
Pickabook
BooksonBoard (they have both a UK and a USA site)
There are also other USA based retailers, but often I have found publisher restrictions stop them selling many of their titles to a UK resident.
My experience is that the Amazon UK site offers a greater selection of books and, all too often, cheaper (sometimes, a lot cheaper) than any of the epub retailers above.
So, as Harry and Superstitious have said, buying from Amazon using Kindle for PC, stripping the drm and converting to an epub starts to look attractive and worth the effort.
If you get in to stripping, I suggest you strip any drm from any epubs you buy so that, in the future, you are not restricted to what your subsequent e-readers may be.
