Why?

I know businesses doing geolocation on their site. For instance, kobo. 
They sell ebooks. I want to see books in English, but they insist in 
showing Spanish books, per my location. Even if I configure my 
preferences to English.

They will sell me whatever book I ask for, but I have to ask for it, 
they are not offered to me as "new offerings" or "Top books in UK".
