Also, you won't need a physical address for the UK as the tax is the same everywhere, whereas the Canadian store needs to know your Province to get the tax basis right.
OTOH, buying from the Canadian store is definitely politically more interesting right now, given the whole #ElbowUp initiative that has gripped Canadians. So even though I have a UK Kobo account, I've been doing all my Kobo buying from the Canadian store. And refusing to buy from the US one. Or Amazon/Audible at all.

The price is slightly cheaper in Kobo's Canada store (approx. $24.50 US) than in the UK store (approx. $27 US), not counting any tax. I am unhappy paying this much for an audiobook (
Black Narcissus by Rumer Godden), but it seems to be my only option.
UK seems easier, so I will probably go with that, though supporting Canada is certainly appealing. Thanks for your help.
