India's First Ebook Reader/Store?
Hi,
Infibeam is offering an Ebook Reader 6' Cybook/Foxit clone. There is also an associated Ebookstore with prices in local currency. The reader can be pre-ordered now. Rs. 9999 ~ 220 USD (at current exchange rate). This announcement is important for at least the following reasons:
Until this, ebook readers have been available mainly through the grey market(no support) or through international purchases(expensive). http://www.infibeam.com/Pi?track=nl46 http://www.infibeam.com/eBooks/ This seems to be India's first Ebook Reader+Ebookstore combination. Though this is not exactly the latest model, this is a big step forward. Thanks hari |

It seems currently there is no(or not many) ebooks in indian languages. But the cust support assured that more is on the way.
The reader however supports local languages. |
