Even if there was a tangible object being sold, I thought they would only have to charge NY tax if they had a physical presence located in NY state. Unless there's some special aspect to the situation - I have a vague recollection that Amazon had to charge tax on DTBs because of having affiliates in NY, but it doesn't seem like a niche publisher selling books off their own website in California would have that problem. If it's Apple, the situation is a lot clearer.
