How much sense does it make to tax ebooks? Is this something that most of us can pop down to the local bookstore and purchase?
It's not like Ohio is losing tax money when I buy an ebook, expecially since many that I buy are not available as any kind of hardcopy.
If you're wondering, Ohio has a voluntary system for most internet sales. Barnes and Noble is one retailer that is meticulous about collecting local taxes from internet sales. I report my untaxed internet purchases on my annual income tax form. (This is known as being a "loser" by a lot of folks, I prefer to call it "honest".)
