Well, at my university, the common solution was to go to the library, borrow the book and then get it photocopied. Copyright infringement? Probably. Cost effective: yes.
I don't know a whole lot of students in India who will spend $260 for their textbooks over their entire undergrad let alone spend $260 on a ebook reader and then spend a lot of money buying books.
However, kindle may become popular with professionals perhaps.
- dagw 17y agoI used several photocopied books when at university. Basically someone would run off one copy of the relevant chapters, then we'd take that to a copy shop and they'd run off a dozen copies of it double sided and bind it nicely. A lot of people did it and no one ever said anything.
- codedivine 17y agoPrecisely. I think cost matters to students more than convenience in most cases.
