Kindle Edition
Sold by Amazon Media EU S.à r.l. ?

If so that's officially a sale in Luxemburg, 3% VAT

If I (in UK) shifted to Amazon.com the prices quoted for me would be the same converted to US dollars.

I have no idea what the Swedish and Estonian rules are today but from 2015 it will be the VAT rate in the buyer's EU state.
