EC Media joining Infibeam in launching eReaders for the Indian market

EC Media, a firm largely owned by India-based publishing house DC Media will launch it's eReader by late March / early April of this year.

Compared to Infibeam's Pi at Rs 9,999, they will have 6" and 8" models available for Rs 8,000 to Rs 18,000. At a top end of $389 after conversion, that's competitive to the US prices for a Kindle / Kindle DX, however currency exchange is never quite that simple as living wages and cost of goods tend to differ greatly, of course.
