In you have a Windows PC, buying from Amazon for the Sony is very easy. Get unswindle.pyw (perhaps you will need to install python, get Python 2.6.4 x86 MSI). Install Kindle for PC. Buy the Kindle ebook, and select your K4PC device to download to. Click on unswindle and get back a DRM-free MOBI ebook. Convert from MOBI to ePub using Calibre.

The only real issue is that some Kindle ebooks are TOPAZ and unswindle works on AZW only. The easiest way to check is to download the sample to K4PC first and unswindle will tell you that it is a TOPAZ.

Buying from B&N is only slightly harder, but I don't think B&N has many ebooks not in the Sony or Kindle stores.
