[ Books & Authors ] Open Question : What are the basics of buying ebooks for an e-reader?

I have just got a sony e-reader but am having problems finding a decent selection of books for it (preferring as I do UK authors). Are only a small minority of books available generally for e-readers? And are books for kindles compatible with a sony ereader? Any other guidance gratefully received. Thanks
