no no, don't worry.
And I never meant to imply you were ignorant.
But to answer your question: the exclusivity for english books in Germany, the Netherlands, and most of all Scandinavia is a very big deal since many do read in english in those countries.
And, on a lighter note, it is probably a big deal in Spain too, considering the amount of Residents (or not Residents) there coming from either Germany, the UK, the Netherlands or Denmark, to name a few....
When I visit a B&M Bookstore here in Germany, I am amazed by the amount of english and french books available.
So if paperbacks sell well, think of the potential for ebooks....
