And what principle is that? There is no particular reason I can discern for books (paper or electronic) to be zero-rated, aside from those used for educational purposes or subject to other known exemptions.

And "fairness" is largely a matter of perspective. E.g. why should ebooks receive an exemption, when other digital products like digital audio files, downloaded games and so forth not get an exemption?
