Waterstones seems to have a reasonable selection suprisingly - back catalog books are around £6. You do have to use the evil ADE to download it, but then with the help of INEPT it is pretty easy to get them into Stanza on the iPhone.

I have bought close to 500 books from Fictionwise over the years but they have shut the door on foreigners, so once my final $25 of Micropay is used up I won't be buying from them anymore. While you can pretend to be in the USA and buy with Micropay you can't make use of 100% rebates and suchlike as they have to be paid with a credit card. So, I too am looking at UK based sellers, and went to Waterstones last of all, figuring that they would have the worst selection but they have many titles that Books on Board don't and their website is slow but simple, whereas Books on Board is hideous to behold and slow to navigate.
