As for Amazon, they can only remove the VAT from their own publishing arm of their store and they said they were going to drop the prices on their books asap.

At any rate I don't really care about any of this, if I want the book I buy it regardless of what tax may or may not be added in. The govt. is going to get their share no matter what.
The only way the price stays the same when VAT is no longer being charged is for the company to raise the VAT-exclusive price.
