I really do not understand all the fairness arguments that are so common in these forums. E.g. I have no idea of what a fair price of a book is.
Hang on - we're discussing the difference in VAT rating for paper and electronic versions - surely they ought to be equally rated.

As for bad eye-sight, that's a different argument. In the UK if someone is that bad, then they can be classed as disabled and can thus argue for a reclaim on the VAT paid.
