Can I buy current books from a store other than Sony and read them on PRS-505?

OK, then where do I buy my ebook copy of The Lord of the Rings?* I want to read current books by current authors other than Cory Doctorow. To buy those books for the Sony, as far as I know, I must go through the Sony Reader Store.

If Reader Store allowed me to download the books from the website and copy them via the file browser, then using the PRS-505 would be a positive experience.

(* Except the single-volume copy of Return of the King which is inexplicably missing from the Sony Store).
