I wonder if VAT is the reason why the rules for were the transaction takes place is different for paper books compare to electronic books. For paper books ordered from abroad the package have to pass the custom were VAT can be added. For electronic books there are not such mechanism. So selling ebooks on an SD card might be the same as selling a paper book since the package will pass custom.

About VAT here...
Pbooks have a 6% VAT. Ebooks have a 19% VAT. Ebooks aren't books according to our law, but a service. If you buy a CD with ebook content, you pay 6%, not 19% because you buy a physical thing. This is so screwed up...
If you buy a non-physical thing from outside the EU, it's possible you don't have the pay the VAT, because the VAT is payed over physical goods...
