"The objective of this measure is to support literacy and reading in all its forms. Following the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the need for people to stay at home, the government has decided to bring forward the implementation date to 1 May 2020 to reduce the cost of access to online publications during these challenging times when many people are confined to their homes and schools are closed."

You are correct. The reason for the government moving the VAT removal on eBooks to now is so people can but eBooks for less during the lockdown.
This keeping the prices the same as with VAT is against the spirit and not helping the public buy eBooks for less.
