Book purchase

I tried to buy a book and didn’t realize that the book is preformed in German. I want the English copy but am not sure how to/or if it’s possible to swap for the same book, just in my native tongue.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello,


I don't know of a way in the Book Store to exchange a book purchase. I think using the below method to request a refund. Then, if approved and once processed, just go back to the Book Store to purchase the English version.


Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support

"Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple

Some purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, or other Apple services might be eligible for a refund. You can use any device with a web browser to request a refund."


If you have more than one language set up on your iPhone you may need to check that your Books preferred language is set to English. Go to Settings > Books. There will be a Preferred Language setting there.


I hope this is helpful.
