Amazon doesn't charge VAT on eBooks:
"Printed books, digital newspaper and subscriptions, e-periodicals and subscriptions, and Kindle electronic books are eligible for 0% VAT.

However, certain non-printed book items are charged at the standard VAT rate of 20%. These include audio books and CD-ROMs"

The change came into effect on Friday for all eBooks where Amazon sets the price. However, where Amazon simply acts as an agent for a seller, there is nothing to prevent that seller from sticking to the old price and simply keeping the money which would have previously gone to the Exchequer:
