Taxes on ebooks are rather complicated. According to Amazon sales tax is based on the publisher's tax reporting obligations, and the taxability of digital books in those regions. There is a help page on the Amazon website that explains which publishers tax which states. For example, in Nevada you'll be taxed if you buy a book published by Penguin but not one by Hachette. I am in a neighboring state and pay taxes for books by both these publishers.
