Even though I have a Kindle, I thought I rather want to buy books in EPUB format. I see a bigger utility in them in the long run.
The following five UK shops sell the same (DRM) book for the exact same amount:
- Foyles
- Waterstones
- WH Smith (Kobo UK)
- Sony
- Nook
Now I know Amazon's system (I have to download their software to my PC, then look for the book in My Documents directory). I have no idea how the above 3 works but which of these 3 is the least painful to get my hands on the physical EPUB file to later do whatever I feel like with it (read: Alf). Instead of trying all 3 by myself, I would like to use your experiences.
Now the above question is for the UK situation (for books cheaper in the UK) but in the long run I will need the same solution (least painful to extract EPUB from) for US sellers as well.
Why do I want to buy EPUB and not convert Amazon's proprietary format back to it?
1. EPUB is just better:

2. My money goes to support EPUB vendors (in the broadest terms), not tricky reconverting to EPUB.
Edit: the book is not cheaper on Amazon by a single cent.
