Amazon has to be careful not to go against local laws in places where it does business, just like any other multi-national company. Is there any way you can download the English version from the USA site?

ETA: Since this is a freeware app, if someone has the English/USA version of the DMG (install) file, perhaps you could get that from them. But even that might not be legal in Germany or wherever you reside, so you need to check first.
Possible. Like I said, I have the .dmg from amazon.com but I'd gladly try another version to see if they are seeding different versions. There is certainly no law that prevents the copying of text from digital files in Germany. It works great on the iPad Kindle app and it seems to be no problem on the Mac in iBooks...
