Then they need to come out and say what's going on. Put the blame on the publisher (where it belongs) and make them the bad guys so maybe they'll be shamed into dropping the price.
The reason for dropping VAT on eBooks was to make eBooks cheaper so they will be more affordable and thus hopefully more people would be reading. But that's not happening. The prices are staying the same in most shops.
Do the publishers not understand why there is a VAT removal on eBooks?
