What gets my goat about ebook pricing is not VAT or other taxes, but the fact that I'm being asked to pay as much as or even more than I originally paid for the mass market paperback. Having just moved house, and now having less shelf space, and needing to condense 2 libraries into one, replacing print editions with reasonably priced electronic editions is now a necessity.
You'd think that publishers would wake up to the 'long tail' effect. Admittedly, there's an upfront cost of digitising a book not originally digitised, but that surely is more than offset by minimal distribution and marketing costs.
