We are talking about eBooks, not eBook Readers here.

Thanks for your effort trying to improve my poor english but I know the difference. If you read the original quoted message by andanzas, you will see that he was asking about the VAT of the device. I could understand this because my non-wasp condition. I apologize also for the typos, I have no speller in my pda and I am drinking a beer, or a beard, or a bear or the whole bar, I dont know :-).

Regards.

It does if the VAT rate changes to be lower, but the retail price stays the same!
