Post Hello Everyone from India
Hi,

I am new to ebook Readers. I did a small research and found that in India, only 2 ebook Readers are available with support(online ebooks/purchases).
they are from Infibeam "Pi" reader and ECMedia's "Wink eReader" both using e-ink technology.

I've read the reviews and it seems like they are not upto the mark.
Here, Amazon's Kindle or B&N's Nook eReaders are not readily Available Yet. Although ebay(India) and related sites have it and the India's tax structure for imports does not spare eReaders. it adds a whopping 40-50% as Taxes.
Still, Kindle is pretty famous Here.
--
I am waiting for Kindle Fire pre-ordered through Amazon.
But, My First plan was to buy e-ink based Kindle Touch Wifi(pre-order).

I got a recommendation that Kindle Fire is what I should purchase as, it adds up as a tablet and good for pdf reading(I reads pdfs mostly).

Now, I've pc,laptops for internet browsing or other purposes possibly negating the need of a tablet?

My Doubt is, Will I miss Kindle Touch Wifi?
Does Kindle Fire's Display is good or comparable to e-ink pearl Kindle's?

Thanks from India

Hi everybody,
Ebook readers and ebooks is a novel concept in India. This is a site I came across when researching which book reader to order and I really liked it.
I like exploring new gadgets and this is a very helpful site.
