The book was £3.99, it is now still £3.99 for someone buying the book there is no difference in price, it has not gone up, it has remained at £3.99
EDIT: I see these points where also made above, sorry for duplicating

You are wrong here. VAT was removed from eBooks. The priced then became £3.32. The publisher raised the price to £3.99.
If it worked as you said, the publisher would have had to raise the price before VAT removal to whatever it needed to be so with no VAT it would go down to £3.99.
How do you remove VAT from something and have the price stay the same without the non-VAT price being raised?
