Now that I think about this, way back when Kobo 1st started this was an issue since the everything went to a "Canadian" company so people were getting dinged with foreign transaction fees and blaming Kobo for taking that money even though it was their credit card company (and .com vs .ca means nothing in terms of whether you'll get charged this or not). It took them a while to get it set up so that they had a "U.S." presence so that US customers stopped being charged foreign transaction fees. There are probably a bunch of really old threads on this.
