Yes you are right. So £9.99 inc. 20% VAT is about £8.33 excl. VAT.
But £8.33 is still more than £6.99 so the same point applies: Amazon has a lower price cap in the US than in the UK, favouring US customers over UK customers.
Edit: Here is
Kobo's version of the price rules, they don't seem to have a price cap for the 70% royalty, but the price minimum could also give an incentive to price differently in different countries.
