But a sale of what? As far as I understand it, (which, admittedly isn't far), in the UK books are zero rated for VAT, but ebooks are standard rated. The rationale for this is that ebooks are not "goods" but a service. Thus, it might be a sale but we are not buying what we think we are buying, (or rather, not buying in my case).
