And then there is VAT. That crazy tax is going to hurt ebook sellers, especially Independent authors selling overseas. It means price increases across the board for ebooks in those countries.
It's going to help VPN providers. People get a VPN and go shopping in a country not charging VAT and you get lower eBook prices.
