Given that Kobo is located in eastern Canada, the UTC-5 would be the most probable choice for converting EST. Asides, I was under the impression that Australian timezones are prefixed with an A so would be AEST/AEDT for Sydney, Australia.
The idea of time zones was popularized by a Canadian (Sanford Fleming may have been born in Scotland but we'll still claim him as Canadian). I've seen the original suggestion for time zones credited to an Italian -- Quirico Filopanti, though he never seemed to do anything to popularize his ideas after writing them up and there is no evidence that Sir Sandford ever read that book.
