Graham Coulson · 09-12-2011, 05:02 AM

I have a question: I don't mean to offend any sensitivities about spelling or indeed grammar, but let's face it, there can be quite a difference between UK and US English and I was wondering if, when I finally make my first eBook purchase, does one have any choice of country in terms of the book's publishing? By this I mean, can one avoid US spelling such as color, favor etc?

Thanks in advance.

Graham.
