I only have a UK account on iTunes. How do you get a US account? Just sign up again with a different email & US address?

Nope. Too expensive at the moment, IMO.

Also, someone pointed out on another forum I posted this on, colour e-ink devices are round the corner, plus apparently the rumoured Apple Tablet may support eBooks in some way. Allegedly.

They went to the trouble of putting a 3G connection into the device and getting International rights from the Publishers after all.
Good point. Hopefully it won't be long before they start selling them directly from Amazon.co.uk, with UK plugs.
