Ok...so looking on Amazon's site I found this:

* Kindle books, subscriptions and active content titles sold by various publishers are subject to sales tax based on the publisher's tax reporting obligations and the taxability of digital books in those regions. As a result, sales tax for Kindle books sold by the publisher may differ from the sales tax to which you've been accustomed for Kindle products.

So it appears we are already being charged tax if we buy from one of the big publishing houses. What happens when the states start tacking on their sales tax? Will I, in CT start having to pay 7.5% tax now? (CT sales tax rate of 6.5% plus the 1% I'm already being charged)
