Waterstones is probably your best indicator of what's available for the UK customer with something other than a kindle. It's pretty pitiful for Terry. (10 titles). 8 titles for Peter Hamilton. Nothing for David Eddings. 3 for Raymond E Feist. So it's not much better in UK ebook stores.
Stick with your Kindle for longer I'd say. I bought my K2 Int when they first launched and the UK selection of sci-fi/fantasy was utterly pitiful. Almost all self published rubbish and public domain books you could get here. Since then it's improved considerably. Oh don't get me wrong. The selection is still utterly pitiful but I'm seeing new books come online on a weekly basis as the publishers slowly figure things out. We're essentially just at the tipping point of ebooks starting to make inroads. Once the publishers realise the writing is on the wall (Or in this case an ebook reader) things will change pretty rapidly).
I'm still running into new books that I need to buy in pbook form but I'm noticing they're starting to get lower in number. It just takes time.
