country of the EU they adjust the rates to those valid in your country.
As I assume you are from Greece you would have to pay 4% VAT for books
(books are VAT-free (0%) in the UK) and 18% for other media (17,5% in the UK
and would only add 0,5% to the price you see on the website in your case).
I hope this helps.

where the goods come from or the destination country. You must pay the VAT
at one of these points.
Amazon.co.uk has VAT identification numbers in all EU member states. They
directly pay the VAT to the destination country (only when within the EU).

if you buy a non-book item you have to pay 18% VAT.
The price displayed as "Our price" already includes 17,5% UK VAT which you
don't have to pay. You only have to pay 18% Greek VAT. So they only add 0,5%
to the item's price (and postage).
For books they add 4% because books are 0% in UK and 4% in Greece.

Then they are not very smart: considering that they ship from a country
with zero VAT on books and one of the lowest rates for other goods
(17.5% as opposed to 19-20% in most others) they have chosen the option
that gives them more paperwork and makes them less competitive. Oh
well...
