And the "little greedy" was because I searched for the book, found two versions, clicked the promo available option and one stayed. I bought that with a 50% off code. I discovered my error when I opened the book. When I looked back at the page for the book, it was obvious it was German and completely my fault. But, Kobo refunded the money with no questions asked.
