There's a good reason why you have to use Waterstones... it is/was the original Sony Store UK with W H Smiths useable... Sony Store is a US outlet for US release books... this means that it's NOT for UK use (i know you can get around this), Waterstones is for UK release books! Want to blame someone then try the publishers/agents and authors who have publishing agreements related to geographical areas... hardly Sony's fault in this case...

I had the same problem with the early version of the PSP - nice item, lousy content, so I sold it and got a Nintendo instead.
