I’ve always enjoyed reviewing Amazon’s Kindles. In the Indian context, Kindles, especially the more expensive ones are not about whether you should buy them. They’re more like luxury products, that you buy because you’re enticed by the nerdy tech angle to it. It’s not a utility product here.

But even the friends who did agree with me decided to buy the cheaper Kindles. In fact, if you want the 3G version of this, it’ll cost you Rs. 28,999, so best of luck!
Why does that make sense? Because a big part of this market is focused on value more than technology. And the fact that you can buy a plethora of books for 22 grand is just inescapable.
