Is there a way to work around the DRM as the UK has many good books for sale?? Can I get Brits to save and send as an attachment? Or are there "better" ways... ahem!
I wouldn't buy books from amazon unless you want to break the DRM and convert them as they're both the wrong format and DRM scheme for kobo. However! I'd try a library of Philadelphia card. or other libraries.

And also look through these:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Free...loadable_Books
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EBoo...ible_Libraries
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores

You'll want epubs, of course.

Geo-restrictions is something a little unavoidable, sometimes, however.
