I recently got myself a Kobo GLO and until now I just read free ebooks but now I want to do more and stumbled around a seemingly simple problem: Pretty much all book stores are single language. I would like to buy mostly english books, but some also in german.
How do you deal with such a problem? Amazon? Well, Amazon would be a solution but I am using Linux only and can't find a way to download those ebooks. Buying from multiple stores would be a solution, but I kind of would prefer one single store. Also, buying from multiple stores usually means having to convert between formats (azw to epub, nook to epub...) and I am not sure about the quality of conversion.
Any tips??
