Amazon customers bought more e-books than printed books for the first time on Christmas Day.
Kindle, is now the most popular gift in Amazon’s history.
Kindle is now available in India
Don’t you see scope for a blog post in these three lines ? Yes, and if you read books, I mean, a lot of them, this is enough for more than a blog post for you.
Will I ever consider buying an e-book reader, and start replacing my printed books with e-books ?
Yes, E-books are more convenient, cheap, and eco-friendly (less printed books = less number of trees cut ) – of course after you pay a good amount initially, for the e-reader , but I will not get to smell my new book .. (I love that smell ! ) .. and many more little and beautiful things about printed books …
Can I share books with people ? I buy a book, finish reading, and then exchange it with a friend for another one … ( free ! ) – is this possible with an E-reader and E-books ?
I have always wondered if the reading experience will be the same. But these new stats from Amazon is giving me better feeling about ebooks. People do like E-Books and E-Book Readers .. especially Kindle.
But, I should admit, I love the idea of ebooks, and would love to have a Kindle for myself ! but things are not looking so pretty in India,
Kindle in India
Even though the advertised price is $279, it may come up to $ 405 in India including shipment charges, and taxes. Browsing the Amazon online catalog and purchasing the book also may be costlier in India.
Do you have good things or bad things to share about ebooks ? Will you buy one for yourself ?

Sounds like an awesome gift for my sister!
why dont u buy one
A kindle cant go with me to the potty. That’s why nothing beats a book.
really ?? !!!!
ya, i have the habit of reading a book on a potty and once i finish, i throw it out of the bathroom. Cant afford that with Kindle.
So, Kindle doesnt come anywhere near a book u see
lol .. good answer !
I bought a Sony Ebook reader. I will get it by this month end. PRS 300.. its cost around 10k INR (bought it from US by my cousin)
cool ! I will wait for your review
how do you get content on this device ?
I can download them legally from Sony website. Or any book site which offers ebooks in pdf format. It reads pdf, word, text formats.
ok
so, other than buying online, can you load pdf books in to the reader, from your computer ?
