The idea was that because of the virus, VAT was removed from electronic publications in order to save money for the customers. The greedy publishers have basically taken the VAT savings and put it in their pockets. The raised prices to be the same as there were with VAT. That to me is very sleazy.
The idea is to make eBook more affordable and the publishers in this time when money can be tight for a lot of people, screw them out of the saving the government put in place to help them.
