Many web sites do the same thing. MobiPocket, for example.
I wasn't aware of Mobipocket's practice as I haven't bought anything direct from them.

Still does WH Smith Sell to outside the Uk or the EU? They're not shipping the Gen 3 Outside the UK so I was curious.

IF not then would it not be more prudent to assume that VAT will be included when showcasing the price as a most people will assume that it is the same as for paper books and finding the price higher on checkout could be a nasty surprise.
