You can download the books from the Kobo website in ACSM format, and likely use the DeASCM plugin (and maybe DeDRM also) in Calibre to extract the EPUB file from the ACSM encapsulation, but I was not able to make that work on the first try, likely I'm not doing something right regarding the Adobe Digital Editions linking. Regardless, I would just use the Kobo Desktop app method above, it's not bad.
FYI, if you use Send to Kindle via email or the Amazon website you can't upload AZW3 files anymore. It can take the EPUBs natively.
Finally, a word of warning: if you buy the bundle, make sure you have all 39 titles available on the Kobo redemption page. I bought the bundle and went right to the redemption page, it listed many books. I just selected them all and redeemed with the code, only to find out that there were six missing titles. They did not appear on the redemption page until about 30 minutes after I purchased the bundle. Now I can't use the Humble code to redeem those additional six, so I've had to reach out to Kobo support. They couldn't help, had to escalate the issue, hopefully it gets resolved. UPDATE: a few hours later Kobo support added the missing books to my library.

I think I found a way, but it's a giant pain. You'll need the Calibre software (Windows) to convert from epub to azw3 format, and maybe the NoDRM plugin. You'll need Kobo Desktop or Adobe Digital Editions to download the books onto your computer, which you can only do individually.

Every book is constantly teaching you-- vocabulary, life's lessons, toleration for others... though you don't notice it until around the fourth or fifth time through.
As with any series (especially one this long), I have minor nitpicks, but one of the many things I like is how Pratchett kept introducing new characters and situations late in the run. After book 30, he could have easily kept doing more stuff with Sam, Granny, Death, Rincewind, and the other regulars. Instead, he kept introducing new (and very good) characters like Tiffany Aching and Moist von Lipwig while still giving cameos to the more established characters.
The series is terribly clever and entertaining, but the satirical parts are what make it (and Adams's work) stand out to me. I'm a bit of an econ nerd, and seeing something like the Sam Vimes Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness [terrypratchett.com] stated so succinctly and relatably warms my heart.
