Not only that, but you are then only shown a selection of books available for your country. There are many, many english or american ebooks that are for instance available for me at amazon.es but that are not at kobo.

actually I think you can: you do have to change your regional settings and perhaps add payment details in the local currency - if you are an expat you may still have a UK bank account. I do have an account (with different email) in the US with a US prepaid card. Some people on the Kobo forum have even more than two accounts, and I seem to remember that with paypal you don't need a card in local currency, but this is just a vague recollection and I may be wrong.
