Dear Kumarswamy,

1) You can directly procure e-books from the publishers, if books have been published by the respective publishers. Otherwise you can go through vendors.

2) There are several e-books formats are available ex: Amazon's-AZW, Sony's-BbeB, Microsoft's-LIT, MOBI, PDF etc.

3) Amazon's-Kindle, Infibeam's-Pi are commercial e-book readers apart from these some of the open source and free books readers are also available e: Calibre is a open source and Icecream e-book reader is a free e-book reader.

4) There are certain purchase models are available for e-book procurement ex: User Concurrence, Circulation, Limited, Perpetual, Pay-Per-Use, Subscription etc., Depends upon books and size of users you may go for procurement.

Thanks

thank you sir

ebooks on kindle are for personal use only, you have to contact the respective Publisher for Institutional License for the e-books required by you.

Ebooks can be procured through your regular online Journals supplier, you can also contact www.isa.in
