While ordering in India the difference between the prices is not huge. However Indian markets are highly sensitive to prices and we are used to watching advertisements everywhere. $25 saved is still a nice saving especially if you multiply it 45. If you are keen on getting e-book reader, go for this. However, a better buy will always be a tablet and there are several options available at the moment.
