Now regarding the French version (paper or electronic books), it seems as easy to find the five first books (those translated from the five original books) as it is to find the more divided ones.

But I still don't understand why you had to use a fake address? In the end what books did you get? The English ones or the French ones?
Once again when reading in English, the four-book bundle is the best value, IMO. Right after, it's the five-book bundle. Then you can buy the books individually.
Well to be honest I didn't find the english versions on the french store. I found the french divided books for 10 euros each (10 french books for 5 english books and no pack: 100 euros for the whole translated set) looked on the US store and found
a 5-pack for 40 euros and told myself it was outrageous.

I didn't use my american account for this particular book that I don't want to read right now, but for the sake of it (I have two ereaders) and indeed, the more I compare the two stores, the more I realise that Rakuten is not abusing too much on the prices. Some editions are different however (you can find an english publisher for a book on the french store totally different from the english publishers on the US store) but some prices are even lower on the french store if you take the current EUR/USD rate.
