In fact the tax rate is 15%, the standard VAT rate in Luxenburg where Amazon EU Sarl is registered. This may change in 2015 to the rate in the cutomer's location as for mail order paper books. As to why, the EU tax site has some talk about how ebooks are "more than just text" think multimedia perhaps.
