re: Sony prs 600 in india

Hi rainboy,

Thanks for replying back.

I think you are right , the seller is not a genuine one.
He is even willing to supply Sony prs 300 , prs 505 & prs 900 (All colours) for Rs9500, 15000 & 21000 respectively , but the doubt comes from the fact that he has mentioned shipping time as 30 business days that means a total of 40 day including holidays.

So, I think the people like us in India will have wait for some time more until an international brand like Sony comes to India.
Or we have to be content with buying ' infibeam pi '

In my opinion the reason why top brands are not launching readers in India are ,

First Most people here are not willing to shell out 10-15 k on an ebook reading devices. (Most of the people ,even the avid book readers laughed at me when i told them that i'm buying an ebook reader )

Secondly the pricing of the ebooks is atrocious e.g. "The Lost Symbol" By "Dan Brown" costs 975 INR in ebook format AND 454 INR for the hardbound edition at infibeam.com .That's Ludicrous .

Lastly book piracy is rampant here , you can easily get any latest book for 2-3 dollars .
