Just an observation- I buy a lot of books on Amazon because they are not available in the retail shops. But if one is in India, it is a bad proposition to use Amazon. On an average it takes 8-11 weeks for books to come to India, if you order on Amazon. I think that is too inefficient. With companies like Reliance getting into book retailing, if a company wants to take advantage of the current situation, it could establish a warehouse at Nagpur, particularly for discounted second hand books and tie-up with an express delivery companies (such as your) for a 48 hours delivery anywhere in India. There are plenty of E- travel agents, infact there are too many for any of them to be profitable for a long time but there currently is no Amazon type book seller in India. Amazon has warehouses even in China- a non-English speaking country, even in France, but not in India. If a tech company or even an existing book retailer wants, it can get into e-retailing in India very easily.
