I would love to use the 80% coupon to buy this book but I cant find it on Kobo. I can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble but not Kobo.
Usually when a book is not available to my region, it doesnt show up in searches, but usually using a VPN can find it but not this time.
I'm having the same problem with THE GOLDFINCH by Donna Tartt. I'm in Hong Kong and it doesn't show up in any search. E-mailed Kobo support and they sent me links direct to the book listing, but when I try those I get the message: "Not available in your country." This has never happened to me before. Has nothing to do with my country settings in Kobo, it's all based on my IP address.

I've been searching for instructions on how to use a VPN to obtain this book, but everything I've seen scares me off, either costing a lot of money, or finding warnings that the VPNs rated as "super secure" are very often identity-theft hellholes.

Any suggestions?
