There's no extra download fee in the UK now.

VAT certainly makes a difference, especially as it's now 20% on ebooks in the UK. Tough. On a reasonable ebook price, that's going to be roughly the same as the cost of printing, storage and distribution for paper books.

I might just be willing to pay the same price for an ebook as for a paperback.
