So if Jon, living outside the EU, buys an ebook from an EU bookstore and he reads it outside the EU, he should not have to pay any VAT.
According to the wording, it I go on vacation to an EU country, buy an eBook while on vacation and then take this eBook home to be "used and ejoyed" outside of the EU, I should not have to pay VAT. But knowing the way things will be, I would have to pay VAT when I should not. Of course, I could remote access my computer from home and buy it there. That would solve the VAT problem. That's not the same as a VPN as point of sale is from the computer here at home.
