I'm from Canada, so used a commercial vpn, went for the $1 so at least I'm not out much. Purchased the order without creating an account, and used Paypal to purchase the order, which has a Canadian address. Humble Bundle processed the order, gave me the redemption options. Tried redeeming it without the vpn, using my Canadian account, got "Sorry, but this promotion is currently not available." Created a new account in Kobo US, without needing to enter an address, then tried redeeming the 3 books, and got the same error message. Not sure if it was because I tried redeeming in Canada first, or if Kobo is detecting the vpn, or if they are having problems.
EDIT:
refreshed the Humble Bundle screen, reclaimed the 3 books, and they were successfully claimed in Kobo US. Guess it was a server error at that time.
