Also, I jokeingly mentioned earlier in the thread that because of the $2.30 charge outside the UK it should be considered malware...well, at least two major software vendors in the business are apparently currently "in talks" with Amazon on that issue.

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.
