The problem with changing the regulations has always been the requirement for a unanimous vote at EU level, something rather more difficult than calculating the square root of -1.
This made me laugh!


But, sorry to burst your bubble:

Quote:
and member countries will be allowed to charge a reduced VAT rate on "any similar physical medium that predominantly reproduce the same textual information content as printed books", come January 2011.
It only goes for physical medium. An ebook that you download isn't a physical medium. Were bookshops to sell a "card" with a code and an URL where to download the ebook, maybe...

Right here, in the Netherlands, you can better buy an audiobook in a store on CD rather than buy the exact same audiobook online as MP3. The first has the lower VAT (6% in our case), the second the higher (19% in our case).
