It made more sense when you had physical editions published in different countries. Same file from the same server published by essentially different companies depending on where the purchaser lives? Yes, absurd. Random House is owned by Bertelsmann, a German company. They aren't particularly American anyway.

What is a great love of books? It is something like a personal introduction to the great and good men of all past times. Books, it is true, are silent as you see them on their shelves; but, silent as they are, when I enter a library I feel as if almost the dead were present, and I know if I put questions to these books they will answer me with all the faithfulness and fulness which has been left in them by the great men who have left the books with us.
