>I can add that they will not buy this book and because of this cover they are not going to support this publishing house which is childish for me in this situation.

People look for different things. I certainly prefer UK covers over US ones 9/10 times. And go out of my way to import those.

Yeah it's still the same language. Your not choosing book in your second language because the cover is prettier than in your language.

I have had many foreign people tell me that they prefer to read in English over their native language if English is the original language that the book was published in. If someone can speak more than one language well, why shouldn't they read books in their second language too? It's awesome that we translate books. There are books that I've read that I never would have been able to read if they weren't translated, but things can get lost in translation. Don't shame someone for choosing to read a book in another language, please.
