This is unfortunately the reason why we get charged tax for eBooks in the UK but no tax for pBooks as the laws differ.

Tiersten, you are right. All this issue is because Amazon has to follow the law of the country from where that purchase is made. You may buy digital content from US, but you are paying from your country, and that payment has to follow the economical laws of that country.
Hope this makes things clear.
