Why Amazon hates Spanish speaking people? We are the third most spoken language in the world, there are about 400 million of us, and there are at least 32 million of us here in the US, making this the third country, in number of people that identify Spanish as their mother language, after Mexico and Colombia.
Yet when I want to buy a book in Spanish, the all famous Good to Great, I cannot find it at Amazon. I have to go to Norma, and try to get it from there.
Now, don't get me wrong, I think it amazing that Norma is actually selling everywhere, but really, is so a pain in the ass to try to get things through other channels, whereas it is so evident and obvious that Amazon should be getting its ass in gear and pushing books to the millions - read, millions - of Spanish speakers in this country.
Jeff Bezos, are you reading? Millions!

Yeah, hello Mr. Bezos, you don't have a Spanish version of one of the best adolescent/young-spirited-adult novels ever written-- Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli! With way too much effort, I finally found a copy through Barnes and Noble. Amazon's spanish section well, sucks.
