I am in England, I log in to the Kobo UK site, I only ever read books in English, I've never even looked at any foreign language books.

Kobo keep recommending books in Dutch...

Guess Kobos priority should shift to the recommendations algorithm instead of improving shop integration.
A recommendations mismatch with a users personal reading habits or preferences (language, genres, purchase history, gender, sideloaded books etc.) is (almost) certainly a no sale.
