California doesn't (last I knew, anyway) collect sales tax if no physical product changes hands. So ebooks are non-taxable. The other possibility is that one item was bought not from Amazon, but through Amazon, but from a reseller who is in California. (Though I thought Amazon had a fulfillment center in California, and charge sales tax to all California residents anyway. Apparently not.)
