I'd assume it was to distinguish between altered books, but some of them have the exact same words in both editions.

I find it frustrating trying to get ebooks specific to UK. Before I started losing eyesight, I could buy a book from a British bookshop and have it shipped here. Now that I can't read paper books, I can't get them in ebook. Kobe travelling worked well, but now that my Visa was changed to MasterCard by my bank, it won't work with even Kobo for traveling. Extremely annoying. Now that I have the last of the books for this one series, I'm done with new UK authors outside of my ego-restriction. Just too frustrating.
American Express will work with overseas purchases.
