Absolutely. From 1st January 2015, Amazon will need to charge customers in each country that country's rate of VAT on eBooks.
Of course, if we're really lucky, by then the UK rate on ebooks might match the UK rate on paper books.
Meanwhile, in the UK we might find that on 1st January 2012, we start geting charged only 3% VAT, if Luxembourg does change it's VAT rate on eBooks, as they have said they will.
