buying digital books

Out of curiosity I tried checking out the Sony online bookstore (since I have the PRS-505) as I have never yet actually bought a digital book (I've read lots of free ones though) to check out what all the hubbub is about, and to check out the offer in case I was ever unable to find the book I wanted for free, and was shocked to discover how incredibly poorly stocked it was ! I tried a smattering of some of my favorite books (Robert Asprin "Myth Adventures", John Varley "Gaea", John Brosnan "Skylords") and almost none of them were on offer ! I knew the Sony store had a reputation for being poorly equipped in comparison to Amazon but this is ridiculous ! I'll stick with s thank you ! It seems they want me to as well !
Still, do you know of a well stocked online bookstore that has non-DRM books compatible with the Sony Reader ? Or a way to read Amazon's books on my e-reader or computer without installing that stupid disgusting "Kindle for PC" ? And the concept of selling books for only one reader (your own ) disgusts and irritates me, the choice of readers and books should be totally independent !
