Where do I get the Liturgy of the hours for UGCC? Can I get them in english here in Europe?

You will find First Third sixth and Ninth Hours in the Sheptitsky Anthology

Vespers can be found in the Old Orthodox Prayer Book [ from Erie] as well as First , Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours

For the Little Hours, the Anthology includes those in addition to many troparia and kondakia.

The only thing close to what you mention in UGCC usage was the Stamford Horologion translated from the Zhovka Molitvoslov, and it has been out of print for a few years. Occasionally one use to show up on Amazon or ebay, but I haven't seen one in a while.

You do have other options for Vespers and Matins in Slavic usage, such as the Uniontown books (Ruthenian usage), the OCA books printed by St. Tikhon's, the books printed by the Old Rite parish of the Nativity, or the ROCOR St. John of Kronstadt Press books.

For regular Saturday evening Great Vespers and Sunday Matins, Archpriest Roman Galadza, pastor of St. Elias Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, has wonderful spiral bound service books. We use his material in our mission and I highly recommend it. You can contact him through the St. Elias website and arrange a purchase.

Ok thank you. This is probably a bit of a long shot but . . . can I download any of this for the Amazon Kindle?

Fr. Ephrem Lash's English translations at http://www.anastasis.org.uk/liturgic.htm I imagine would be accessible. Some of the Holy Myrrhbearers translations that are quite good (OCA usage) are available at http://www.noeticspace.com/AutoIndex...ical_Resources
