Thanks for the replies, I live in the UK, but would be interested in any sites you can recommend that you find good for books.

After creating a list of the Authors of all the eBooks I currently own I have found that just over 50% are not available on the Kobo Store, but off those a lot are Authors I am unlikely to buy books from again, but there are about 10 Authors which I buy books form regularly that are not on Kobo.

My worse case is to buy from Amazon and de-DRM the books, but I would rather avoid that.

When buying from Other Stores do you have to use your computer and connect your Kobo to the computer to download the books to it or is it possible to email books (or send to device over Wifi in some way)

and one final thing, what Metadata can you access from the Kobo Reader, e.g. if you have a book with the description of the book can you access this from the Kobo Reader?

Thanks,

Gavin,
