Andrew Vachss

Does anyone know where I can get The Weight by Andrew Vachss as ebook in the UK?

Need it for a Sony, can get Kindle version on Amazon but not much use for me

thanks, Neil

I checked WHSmith, but they have almost no Vachss titles.

Your best bet is to buy the Kindle version, using Kindle for PC, and strip its DRM (encryption). You need Calibre to format shift from MOBI (AZW) to ePub, and a 3rd party Calibre plug-in to strip the K4PC DRM on import to Calibre. Apprentice Alf's Blog is the best site for DRM issues like this one. The plug-in is in the tools_2.3 bundle.

In the UK stripping DRM is allowed but format shifting from MOBI to ePub is technically illegal. No one takes this seriously, and format shifting an ebook you bought in order to read it on a device you own isn't going to get you into trouble.

Found it here but quite pricey.

And Kobo and Sony won't offer it to you?

It's 14.99 on the kobobooks.com site (Canadian version) and it looks like the 30% off coupon would work on it, as well. Surf over there and see if it appears on the version of the site your IP address calls up.
