Think about it.

In order to read a ebook you need a license to copy for the purpose.

The seller has no authority to issue such a license for the buyer's actual location so the buyer is in breach of copyright law.

And if you mislead and thereby get a lower price (avoiding or reducing VAT), that's fraud that doesn't depend on details of tax law.
