In his recent blog, 'Amazon's VAT Windfall', Anthony McGowan expressed concern that the Bezos behemoth had not changed e-book prices following the recent VAT cut, and were set to profit to the tune of millions as a result. He and I have been arguing on Twitter, very politely I might add, about this as I think he's got it wrong.

The problem is the media's kneejerk reaction is to blame Amazon instead of the publishers.
Don't expect consumer sympathy from them. Don't forget the media types are publishers themselves.
