I ordered an Aura HD on the 17th, and it's already on my credit card info at my bank- for the exact amount on the invoice.
By your bank's logic, they'll charge you a 3% fee to use an ATM in a foreign country, and I've never had that problem.

It would depend on which ATM I use. Some are no-fee due to reciprocity. If there is a fee it is baked into the exchange rate. I don't see it.
It also depends on which credit card you use. Some have fees some don't.
As people have posted, Kobo now has a US subsidiary based in Delaware so no foreign transaction fees should appear. However, they don't allow you to use Paypal like they do for ebooks for ereader purchases.
