This is news to me... I lived in Spain for seven months in 1999, and ordered a few books from Amazon.com. The only thing I paid for was the cost of the books and international shipping from the States. Perhaps other countries have different rules, but for the four occasions I purchased online from North America while in Spain and France, I was treated (tax-wise) just like anywhere in America.
