I give Kobo an fake email address to create an account. I then go to a local shop and purchase a Kobo gift card paying cash. I make a purchase on my Kobo account, add the gift card at payment time and bob's your uncle. I would use the Tor browser since it does a better job of protecting my real IP address than most VPNs.
This even works if I want to use Kobo Plus since Kobo will happily use the store credit from gift cards to pay for Kobo Plus. Admittedly, syncing the Kobo Plus books to my Kobo is a bit of a risk since it's IP address will be needed for the sync process but there a router level VPN would help. There are other ways to download ebooks from Kobo but most of them are more trouble than they are worth.
