In the UK, books are VAT free (currently 20%) - however eBooks are excluded as they are seen as digital items, not books, so DO attract a 20% tax. Gits.
That's why I'm adamant that I only buy ebooks when they are AT LEAST 20% lower than their paperback\hardbook version; I'm not being greedy, I'm just trying to get an equivalent price for the licensed item!
