Especially in many not-English-speaking countries, both the US and UK publishers of the same book seem to have worldwide rights (and sometimes neither does), so it's fairly common to have both.

I usually choose first based on whether the book was likely to have been written in American or British English (I'd rather not get an Americanised version of a book set in London, written by an English author, for example) and second based on the price.

If you add both books to your library ("Save Preview"), you should be able to see if they say Adobe DRM Epub or something else in the library.

As Yapyap said that means that one book is published by UK publisher and the other by US publisher. In the international shop that happens often.

It seams we posted at the same time
I know the author of the book. He's been all over so he might use American and British English. However, it's non-fiction, so that's not an issue. The book was published by Cambridge U Press. I know they have offices all over, so maybe it is from the UK and US shops?
