Just out of curiosity, what happens when you visit humble bundle? Are you unable to purchase their bundles because you’re not in the states?
I can visit them and buy from them just fine. I can't use the promotion you posted without a VPN; when I click on the link, I get the message "this promotion is not available in your region".

I guess I could possibly use it with a VPN and PayPal, but I'm not a particularly huge Pratchett fan, and I'm not sure if the books would even be available to me later in the Kobo store without jumping through some hoops again. If I were a Discworld fanatic, I'd probably try, but I'm not really.
