Hello!

I bought an e-reader to my wife for her birthday. She is a Turkish citizen and likes to read books alot – something rare even among educated Turks. I first decided to buy tolino, but learned that there are hardly any e-books in Turkish for it. So, I returned the e-book and bought after searching in the Web a Kobo. But it seems to be impossible to filter always the searched books by a language or languages: I mean that there is no account setting that I want to read English books only, say. We live in Austria, and the found books were in German and in English. We searched for books of classical Turkish writers and World Literature in Turkish, but could hardly find any.

We also tried the D&R and Idefix Web sites, taking support from Microsoft's Copilot, but it was disappointing. As we could only find a few novels (criminal novels, thrillers), we decided to return the Kobo next week.

Is there anybody who had a similar experience? Why does Kobo ignore the command "language:Turkish" (or "dil:Türkçe") in the search field?

Thanks for any answers.
