Hello

I just flipped to Kobo from Kindle. I chose the Kobo Libra H20

I have a question. When I search the Kobo store for books, I notice it list the books in English and french. Is there a way to make it only list the English books

You can filter the language. When the search results come up, press "Filters" at the top left of the list. There should be an option to filter languages. Here I get "Any", "English" and "Add language+". The "Any" is ticked. If I tap the "English" it should remove other language results. But, I don't need to do that here as I generally do not see any non-English books in the results.

The results may also be dependent on the address you have set in the Kobo account and your location. The former does affect what you can buy, but, I'm not sure of exactly how it affects the search.

For your location, Kobo is using the IP address it is seeing. That will map to a country and I believe Kobo uses this to decide the search URL and hence what you will see. I haven't tested exactly what happens as I don't connect from anywhere other than Australia.
