eBooks
Hi all,
This could have gone in Lifestyle, Computers, Internet, but I picked Lifestyle - hope that's ok?!
Can anybody here recommened some decent sites for eBooks?
Obviously legit sites please!
Looked at ebooks.whsmith.co.uk & Borders.
Can the eBoooks purchased from Amazon (for the Kindle) be used on a Sony PRS-600 reader?
Cheers
Lee

Re: eBooks
You could try
http://www.booksonboard.com
http://www.ebookshoppe.com/
Lots of US ones but most of then now seem to region protected.
Tried to buy a book last night, Without Warning by John Birmingham. Tried 6 sites 4 US 2 in UK all of the US sites had it but I could buy in from the UK, both UK sites didn't have it. 
Money to spend but I can't legally get it any where. Seems to be a common problem with a lot of online content. Sellers make it really difficult with restrictions etc.

Re: eBooks
The Nokia OVI store has books for download onto your mobile such as the Twilight series.

Re: eBooks
Another few for your list
http://www.coolerbooks.com/
http://www.waterstones.com/
Oh and Books On Board has a UK option
http://www.booksonboard.com/uk_index.html?ebooks=ebooks
Isn't the Kindle a lock-in due to downloads only from Amazon via its cellphone type connection?
