There's only one other store that I'm aware of which sells books in Sony format directly - Fictionwise, with their range of "multiformat" books and magazines. However, there are many stores which sell books that can be easily converted to be read on the Sony, given that it's rather trivial for any Windows user to convert Microsoft Reader (LIT) books to Sony format using the freely available "ConvertLIT" tool.

with software manipulation, such as the rasterfarian, are most PDFs inevitably readable (with minor tweaks?)
That's very much down to what one considers to be "readable". It can be done, yes. Whether you'll be happy with the results is very much a personal decision. Don't buy ANY 6" eBook reader if reading A4/Letter PDFs is vital to you; the only eInk device that's truly good for that is the larger iRex iLiad.

Hope that's of some help to you.
