There is no sales tax for e-books at Amazon.com for Canadian purchases. It's not hidden; it's not there; the sale is made in the US, not Canada. Physical goods shipped by Amazon to Canada do attract sales taxes coming across the border.
So, the Whispernet fees are baked into each e-book price; the problem is one can't see what it is. In many cases, it's still $2 but, as pointed out earlier in the thread, sometimes it is less and sometimes it is missing altogether (which is a good thing).
Perhaps eventually Amazon will make e-delivery a line item charge but if they are inching toward always free, I'm happy with that too.
