Won’t it still work for you if you switch Kobo stores?
No, you need to have a USA IP for that offer on Humble Bundle and they may detect some kinds of VPN.

Switching Kobo to USA just needs PayPal and a USA address, they don't seem to care about IP.

IP Geolocation is next to evilness of DVD /BD region locking or DRM as the database of locations vs IP addresses could be wrong and these ought to be private anyway. WhoIS is now mostly private and that should always have needed a warrant/court order as should IP location, not just who used it when (which needs a Court Order here).
