Following the official launch of Amazon eCommerce store in India, the company has just announced the arrival of Amazon Fire HD, Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle via the Kindle Store on Amazon.in. The update looks quite exciting because we didn't expect Amazon to expand so rapidly in Indian markets. The Amazon.in store was launched only with the books & TV shows, and the site promises 'mobiles, cameras & more' in the coming soon section.
The prices of the devices are as follows:
Kindle Fire HD, 7" : Rs. 15999
Kindle Fire HD 8.9": Rs. 21,999
Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi Only): Rs. 10,999
Kindle Paperwhite (Wi-Fi + 3G): Rs. 13,999
Kindle 5th Generation: Rs. 5,999
The devices will ship starting June 27 and Amazon is promising a free home delivery across India for a limited period of time. Amazon has confirmed that Redington will be the official distribution partner for the company in India and the Kindle devices will retail at Chroma, Reliance Digital, E-Zon and via Vijay Sales in major Indian cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Bangaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Pune and Chandigadh.
We believe that Amazon's got the pricing of their products right in Indian markets. It'd be really interesting to see how the Indian audiences react to Kindles. Amazon's got biggest competition in India from Flipkart (which recently closed down the digital MP3 store).
We'd love to know from our readers their opinion on the launch of Kindle devices in India. Do you think the 'free PDF' aficionados will pay for the eBooks?
