App shop, kindle in French.

Hi It's my first time here. I bought my first Apple product yesterday yay yay.. I've got the new iPad. I live in France, have registered my French bank details, now ALL of my apps are coming back French, the kindle I downloaded has only French books. Itunes is french. When i do english searches for apps it says in French 'not found' Everything else is in English it was a piece of cake to set up.

Please tell me there is a way around this App problem.

You can only use the iTunes/App store in the country you are located. Some items may only be avaialbe in French

You can change the lanuage used by the iPad itself by:

Oh no. I already changed the pad into English really easily. The app thing is quite distressing. As i need english apps & books. Gutted. Can apps be bluetoothed from an android Samsung? Or an iPhone?

Thanks for your help.

Go to an english speaking country that has the apps you want, change your account so it is associated with that country an then purchase the apps. You will have to repeat that for updates.

It is a copyright issue.
