No you're not. There are many eBook stores which sell ADE format books which the Sony can read. Who is "forcing" you to buy from Waterstones?

I did buy two Cybook gen 3 readers but both went bad on me. I sent one of them back to Cybook and was told that the screen was broken and this is not covered by the guarantee. I refused to accept this because I am very gentle with my gadgets.

A broken screen substrate is an undeniable fact. Not a matter for "accepting" or otherwise. It's a fact. They don't just "break" on their own.

The other ebook reader I threw into the garbage-can out of frustration.

Fraustration about what? The CyBook is a damned good bookreader. Certainly a heck of a lot better than the Sony in software terms (IMHO), although the Sony is certainly better engineered.

I have read that with Sony's new e-book reader one can increase the font by five times

No. It has five different font sizes. The largest font is certainly not five times larger than the smallest.
