Dear Ms. Goel,

There are many online bookstores in India and abroad where from you can purchase e-books (Kindle editions) You have to pay online and hence Indian bookstores are preferable because you can pay instantly through debit /Credit cards and through Net Banking. alternatively you can search for the ebooks at the respective publishers' sites and can make online transaction. but, PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE A PRIOR FORMAL DISCUSSION REGARDING INSTANT ACCESS to those materials.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Dear Ms. Goel,

There are several Indian Online Book stores like:

(1) www.Flipkart.com

(2) www.Amazon.in

(3) www.Infibeam.com

and of course, there are many more but the books we require (Higher Education & Research only) are mostly supplied by these three Online Bookstores.

You may check Price, mode of payments and supply conditions from these three bookstores and can select the one according to your suitability. But, generally speaking, by and large no bookstore can supply the book instantly. However, Flipkart has a provision of Preferred/Favoured Customer and if you be one, you can avail their Same Day Delivery System.

Generally they all ask for advance payment through Debit/Credit Crads, but Flipkart has widest option for COD meaning Cash On Delivery facility.

What I do is check prices from the online book stores and then check their payment requirements and supply time. Being in GOI organization, I personally prefer Cash On Delivery System. But if I see that others offering significantly cheaper price, I opt for them.

In a nutshell, this is the way how I deal with the online Bookstores. Generally, we purchase books worth Rs. 8-10 Lakhs per year from these online Bookstores in addition to customary purchase through vendors.

I hope I could clarify your issue.

Regards,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
