If this were a surprise I wonder if the prices are all still exactly the same because of the way Amazon and publishers have their system in place; i.e. if the system is that the publishers tell Amazon a set price regardless and neither side accounted yet for the possibility of a changing VAT, then maybe publishers just haven't had time yet to catch up and begin changing prices accordingly.
That doesn't mean they will eventually change them though. But with more notice and fanfare they may have been pressured to at least make token price drops upon the switch to assuage the eagle-eyed watchers.
