Connect your Kobo ereader to your computer using a USB cable. If you are using a Windows operating system, you should see a directory called .kobo, if you are using a OSX or Linux operating system, you are going to need to enabling displaying hidden directories (UNIX based OS use a leading period to indicate a hidden directory/file) to see that directory.
Inside the .kobo directory, you will see a file called affiliate.conf. Opening that file with a text editor that respects Unix style end of line (I use Notepad++ with Windows, Linux and Mac OSX can use pretty much any text editor), you should see two lines of text:
Code:
[General]
affiliate=Kobo
Change the second line to match the above example to change your affiliate to Kobo.
To change the country, look at the bottom of the Kobo homepage. I've attached a sample of what I see connected to the site to this message and circled (ovaled?) Change country link. Click on the Change country link to change your country.
