Deciding how much should be charged is easy enough, use the sales tax for the state the person lives in. The trickier part is getting the sales tax from places that don't have a brick and mortar store. We are suppose to include an estimate how how much money is spent online on our state taxes but the vast majority of folks ignore that line.
Since Amazon is selling books for the big five publishers and those publishers have brick and mortar locations in most of the states in the US, Amazon is required to collect the tax for those stores.
It is a sucky by product of the Agency system.
