The two times I've tried to do this I've failed. With Amazon because I already have an Amazon.com account as well as an amazon.co.uk account (I bought a Kindle 2i when they first became available in the UK and initially you had to buy out of the US store).

With Kobo, not sure, except that when I got to the final stage it rejected my credit card.

I'm sure I could have persevered but it wasn't worth the effort. In the later case I bought a cheap paper copy instead.
