I'm not interested in playing around with different countries' stores, want to stick with Hong Kong, since it's priced in HK dollars, and I use a HK dollar credit card (among many other reasons).
Any advice (other than "try India")?

Seriously try India. You don't have to change anything except putting India as your country in your settings. You can even leave your address in Hong Kong, as I left my US address and it works fine. I use a US dollar credit card and all my Indian rupee transactions went through fine. I do have a card which doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, which is nice in this situation. I am getting an exchange rate of 61.79 rupees for 1 US dollar. Most of the books I've bought are coming out to 65¢ US on my card.
Addendum: You probably only have 8 or 9 more hours to give this a try. When Kobo opens tomorrow I expect someone to notice the zillion 90% off charges made at various stores and finally pull the plug on this code.
