I wouldn't want to make a huge investment in Borders cards on the promise of being able to use them at Kobo because that can and probably will change. In the meantime, though, those pesky fees are still being charged and "soon" is nebulous.
The fee isn't charged by Kobo. Just use a different credit card -- your bank/CC company is the one charging you those fees.

I've never paid a transaction fee for Kobo purchases (nor any exchange rate fee, since the charge is in USD, even though it is a Canadian company).

However, since it is a Canadian company, I have had some cards refuse to allow them to be used for payment, until I called the company and authorized the card for non-US/International payments.
