I doubt it. What sort of presence would the publisher have in CO? Simply having books they published
sold there doesn't qualify.
And Amazon as Agent and publisher presence aren't meaningful as a conspiracy.
They don't benefit from the move. The
state does. I'm quite certain Amazon would be just as happy to
not charge tax, to save themselves the headache of keeping track of whether they had to in any particular location, just what tax they had to charge, and where they had to remit what they collected. Likewise, the publisher will be happy at anything that
doesn't add to the cost the buyer pays. They have no incentive to
like taxes. It's just something they're stuck with.
