[LINK] Education E-books - India

[TKoltai]

I wouldn't worry Paul, the criuppled viewing platform isnt even a
consideration: Indians are buying mainly el-cheapo Android phones and
tablets.

Ref: India's $35 Aakash Android tablet

(Tom probably missed the discussion last mointh on the 35$ Indian
Android Pad.

I doubt that the majority of the people who will be using this resource
can even afford an iPad.

i.e.: of the 74 million iPads sold last year, the total population of
India that they could have supplied is less than 0.62% of the
population.
So on that basis, I guess it's not really a worry - except to Apple.
