I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.

Edit: Only available in the US.

Not in Canada, it’s not.

@YurkshireLad I hadn't noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn't see any restrictions so I'm guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.

Not Canadian anymore, Indogo sold them to Rakuten.

Not available in Aus either, and other Kobo bundles have been. Probably a publisher issue.

Could you use a vpn and buy it?

You could access the website, but I'm unclear on how the payment process works. Would canadian credit cards not be identifiable as being from Canada?

Billing address might mess that up

I could ask a family member in England to buy it for me.
