As Lilly says, there are many stores that sell ePubs. This includes UK bookstores, although then you get the geographic restriction run around that the rest of the world goes through in the US. The only ePubs you cannot currently use on the Sonys are those from B&N, because they are using a new "password" DRM that isn't on the Sony's yet (and perhaps never will be).
Currently, Kindle for PC is your best bet for buying Kindle ebooks for the Sony. Its DRM has not yet been circumvented, but i♥cabbages is close to a solution. Note that at best only AZW ebooks will be available, no one has a handle on Amazon's TOPAZ ebook portability yet. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch it is already possible to shift its Kindle app AZW files to ePub.
The 7" screen of the PRS-900 might be good enough in landscape to read letter/A4 PDFS. Particularly since it will have an autocrop margins mode.
