FWIW, California doesn't charge sales tax on e-books. Regular books, yes. E-books, no. California also doesn't charge sales tax (for now) on any downloaded electronic software that doesn't come with physical "media" - i.e. no CD or USB stick loaded with the software. In my real job, I get to argue with vendors about this from time-to-time, and it's never fun.
But unless Beverly Hills has a city sales tax on e-books, which seems highly unlikely, you're free to use 90210 if you want to. If you want to be super-sure, use 90254, which is Hermosa Beach, CA, where I live. I attached a screenshot of a recent Kobo purchase, and you can see there is no tax.

If someone's going to use a fake zip code, they might as well make it one from a no sales tax state, instead of paying the 9.75% they'd be charged for a Beverly Hills address. That's just kooky.
