I don't know anything about American law, but if this had happened in the Netherlands, I wouldn't have believed it. Imagine that we would state prices without VAT, because some regions charge 15% and others charge 20%.
E-Book price without VAT: €10
Publisher: Spectrum
I live in a region that charges 20%. Then I'd expect to pay €12. If the price would be €12,50, because "Spectrum charges their own 5% tax", I'd call off the purchase. That sounds ridiculous. It can't be the case that companies are charging their own taxes at will.
