I was looking for a news story and discussion about it, not a government announcement. Also, and more importantly, I was looking for a mainstream discussion of the apparent fact that publishers have kept the 20% VAT saving and not passed it on to consumers.

It appears to be a clear case of cartels, abuse of the VAT saving, and to add to that, a conspiracy of silence among the mainstream press. I haven't surveyed price changes of UK e-books since the VAT removal, so I'm not sure it's really happening.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about UK ebook pricing could comment?
