You could perhaps wait until if and when the KT is released in the UK. A bunch of Aussies (including myself) and NZers have also ordered the KT from the USA despite it not being available in our own countries just yet, so we'll see how our own experiences turn out.
The KT's integrated bookseller, KoboBooks, sells to many different countries, putting aside publisher-enforced geographic restrictions. I know they sell to the UK, and if you can buy from KoboBooks using your computer, you shouldn't have any problems making use of the integrated shop function on the KT.
Be aware that you'll have to use workarounds such as proxies and providing information that obfuscates your UK location if you get the Nook Simple Touch. B&N, the Nook's integrated bookseller, will only sell ebooks to residents of the USA. Or at least, those whom they believe to be in the USA.
Of course, if you don't intend to use the integrated Shop feature on either reader, both the KT and the NST will still work for you.
