Entirely separate issues. In fact, for electronic goods, the point of sale for VAT purposes in the EU is changing (in 2015 I think) to the customer's location, not the seller's.
But it is true that the EU is discussing changes to the classification of ebooks under VAT regulations to make their VAT rate match that on paper books.
