Ha ha I think Kobo is telling you it is time to stretch your mind and learn to read in German! I'm surprised that I don't have any German books on my recommended list as quite a few of the searches I have done have only returned German books due to geo restrictions for the English version in Australia.
Most of my recommendations have been quite good. Infact probably about three quarters are books that I have already read. There are several others that I am now interested in and just a few that have made me wonder how they came up with that suggestion!
I hope the recommendation sections continues to improve. I would be interested if someone from Kobo could explain how the recommendations are calculated? Is it based on prior purchases, searches or what?
