I don't want the publisher or author to decide in which language I can read the book.

Exactly the way I see it. But I think, as mentioned above, that it has to do with them trying to fit in ebooks in the old print publishing model. I gave up on waiting for localized versions of my favourite authors in the early 90's and nowadays prefer to read in english.
Edit - hey you're in Oslo too! Nice to know that I'm not the only Kindle owner here. :-)
