I probably didn't express it well.
The article in the original post was about ebooks as a category of merchandise being taxable at all, but the article didn't really go in to a lot of depth on that.

Both are contentious issues right now, though the issue you mention is the one that's in court in several federal districts at the moment (and Amazon's most likely going to win, and should, IMO).
