I can see that Amazon may have a problem with their online reading subscriptions or even the websites that charge money for reading. Then, again, are the cloud downloading sites selling hi-speed downloading and file storage also selling "ebooks". Aren't user manuals an ebook that is downloaded for free from the manufacturer?
Mangas/comics are also ebooks. Would a provider of ebooks need to provide proof that they didn't go beyond the revenue limit?
I expect that one day we will be taxed for the CO2 that we send into the air unless we are no longer living.

I don't think you'll see this. Countries like France and Luxembourg already had low VAT rates on their ebooks but were called back by the EU. Once this rule becomes ratified, I think those two countries will decrease the VAT again. And I know the Dutch government was a very strong proponent of the low VAT rate for ebooks.
