The EMI offer is only valid if the buyer purchases Kindle from Amazon.in and the installments can be converted into three, six, nine and twelve month period.

Right now, India is standing at a threshold of tremendous explosion in the usage of tablets and ebook readers are a special niche which Amazon wants to desperately target. Kobo, another ebook reader has already made an in-road into the Indian market and Amazon is trying real hard to capture maximum market penetration.

Last year, Amazon had introduced an amazing offer for ebook readers when it launched 99 eBooks under Rs 99 each. This offer generated quite a buzz among all book lovers in India. Amazon is trying to remove all obstacles when it comes to selling ebook readers so that more and more units are sold. For example, the previous versions of Kindle didn’t have 3G access of Internet, and Wi-Fi was the only option to download books. But the new Kindle Paperwhite has both Wi-Fi and 3G options to access Internet, which makes it more appealing and user-friendly for the Internet savvy tablet user.
