You can purchase eBooks from Fictionwise, BooksOnBoard, eBooks.com, CyberRead, Diesel-eBooks, and others from within the UK. You are not limited to Waterstones. And if you don't mind breaking the law (in the UK) and breaking DRM, most conversions are simple using Calibre.

I can download in ePub, MS Reader, and Mobipocket, strip the DRM, convert to LRF (ePub can be read as is if I want), and read away. Sony did try to include Mobipocket on the Reader, but because of already having another DRM format on the Reader, Mobipocket said no.
