Is this Karma for Amazon

Audio books are not more expensive than paper books because of VAT. They're significantly more expensive even before the VAT.

And I never said they were!! I said that Audio books attract VAT, normal books do not. If your only choice is to have an audio book it seems unfair to be taxed for it. Perhaps once you have learned to read and follow a thread you might to respond

Tax isnt fair. I pay tax on toilet roll which to me seems more of a necessity than being able to hear someone read a story. There's also a great resource of free audio material, its called the radio.

What a stupid comment. I never said it was fair, I was pointing out something that seems particularly unfair. If you want to read/hear a story you have a choice of formats. One of these formats does not incurr VAT. My son has a choice of 1 and it is taxed.

The blind also pay tax on their bog role and tulip as much as you do!

Radio is not a great source of audio. It is A source of audio but somewhat limited in its output.
