Wow, I knew Mobipocket was expensive, but I didn't expect them to add an ADDITIONAL 19.5% on top for VAT! What is the point of eBooks if they are MORE expensive than the paper equivalent? Mobipocket better get their act in gear or they'll be out of business soon!  Especially as I bought from another store online, and not via the mobipocket software, and I didn't get charged VAT |
What? VAT on books? Since when? There is absolutely no VAT on books in the UK. VAT on ebooks will certainly make them more expensive than dead-tree books. If any thing, ebooks should be subsidized like solar heating and diesel engine cars (low road tax).
19.5% VAT? Am I missing something here?
