It's the $2 extra added to the ebook cost.
It's added to free ebooks too, so 'free' books in the UK Amazon store cost $2.30 = $2 + 15% VAT.

I just think its not right for folks having to pay a 15% tax for a book electronic or not. Its not the $2 I'm referring to either a 15% vat makes buying books expensive. Most books I buy are between $25-$50. I dunno if folks are okay with paying these high taxes I guess it okay. I don't think that level of taxation would beTolerated in the states
