Unhappy How to get books?

So, Me and wife are really liking ebooks even though they do make you jump through the hoops a lot.

Main problem is that we're living in Finland/EU, and no store seems to want to sell to us! Waterstones has worked but now for some reason the account got locked, and would need to call there, which I'm not willing to do. Another option has been Amazon, since so far the hacks have been working and can strip their DRM to read on wifes Sony ereader or my Nokia N800, but I'd really rather not support shops that impose proprietary DRM schemes.

Does anybody know of any other store that would sell across EU? Non-DRM would be great, but that's probably too much to ask for in mainstream literature. Adobe Digital/epub is acceptable, at least it's more "open" standard.

I'm truely getting ticked off by the way they are treating customers who would be willing to pay for their products. Piracy sure is starting to seem tempting.. perhaps could just send money to author in brown envelope :P

Oh, and I think I'm actually committing a bigger crime by breaking copy protection, so from legal point of view I'd probably be safer by pirating, but it's just against my own moral guidelines.
