Thank you for your responses.

yes, you can definitely do that - I won a prepaid card in the US, so I setup an account with a different email and gifted a book to my main account, and I can confirm it works. Interestingly, from my main account I also had the option to refuse the gift and get the equivalent in money. When you gift a book, you only give out an email, which receives a link, so I think you could even use a third email - but I did use the one linked to my "main" account. When you click the link in the email you are re-directed to the Kobo website and asked to sing up or sign in, at which point I signed in with my main account login. I have done this for only one book, so it may be a coincidence, but I am aware of other users who do this pretty regularly.
What I only just discovered is that you can have a different account located in country X but use on that account a payment card with a billing address from a different country. Check
this out.
