We do have something called "Indian Low Price Edition" http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22indian+subcontinent%22+%22low+price+edition%22 http://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22indian+subcontinent%22+%22low+pr... but not all titles are available for whatever reason. Mostly, these are books used as texts in schools & colleges.
Another note: An LPE of a book that is available for INR ~500 would cost anywhere from INR ~4000 to ~6000 if the original publication is ordered. Generally the original is not stocked so there is a wait period of ~5 weeks from placing the order.
- regularfry 15y agoSure, but that's imported content again. It's reliant on the foreign publishers deigning to think it worthwhile. Is the existence of LPEs enough to prevent the growth of a market in indigenous content?
