Many UK publishers only support Adobe ePub. However, see Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented. Once an ePub is DRM-free Calibre does a great job converting it to MOBI. Note that the UK copyright law is so out of date that even format shifting for personal use is prohibited, but this is not enforced in practice.
