book sales tax- AMZN vs barnes & noble

I understand reading your post that AMZN does not charge sales tax because AMZN has no physical stores anywhere. I also read elsewhere (can't retrace it) that some US states are claiming back taxes from amzn.
Based on sales tax (state,county,city) between 6% and 10% as listed on www.taxware.com, this can explain the tremendous upsurge of AMZN sales as the consumer doesn't have to pay the sales tax.
Does somebody know the % of sales in the US vs the rest of the world?
Thanks
