aceflor, it turns out that you can change the localization without having to change the payment details! More precisely:

Your address does not have to match what your billing address is, it doesn't even have to match your credit card address. I've been using my Dutch credit card on a fake UK address since forever with no problems at all

You can also set say a UK account to buy kobo books and gift them to your "real" account, so that any books get downloaded to it, while the UK based account is only used for the purchases, but not for the downloading of books.
