You might think that it should be the same, but I think you are wrong. I am going to use the example of the shareware companies back in the early 90s when they "sold" you a copy of a PD software. What they really were doing is charging a fee for the service of copying the program to the media and sending it to you. Here, you are being charged a tax on the distribution, not the actual book.
