There are sanctions for not sending a copy of a paper book to the British Library. You can be fined for not doing so. (I'm not sure how much, and I suspect that the law is rarely, if ever, enforced.)

As I said, in the UK, the situation is currently that the law has not "caught up" with eBooks, and that legal deposit is optional for them. You can send the British Library a copy of your eBook if you wish to do so, but it's entirely optional.
