It probably has to do with where you are, I get them in English but a German buddy of mine gets them in German.

I will try it, thanks

Ok, I have tried to download from a German webpage but I couldn't. but it doesn't matter I have some other e-books.

I wasn't suggesting downloading from a different country's site. I was thinking the country you're in is probably noted when you download it and that's the language you get.

Of course that probably doesn't make any sense as I assume you speak and read the language of the country you're in, unless you're visiting.

O better stop now, I'm confusing myself and before I know it I won't be able to read English. Heck, I already don't understand half of what I read anyway.
