It was also mentioned that if we didn't opt in, Amazon might note the lower price and match it--causing havoc and probably lost earnings.
No notice from Kobo or B&N so I'm still not certain how they are handling it. For my own site I hope no one admits they are from the UK when buying...

Kobo has been adding the taxes for a lot of time, and B&N only admits US customers...
