A week after launching its marketplace in India, Amazon India has launched its Kindle eBook readers and tablets in the country. These devices will be available from Amazon.in as well as retail store such as Croma, Reliance Digital, E-Zone and Vijay Sales in Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Gurgaon, Kolkata, Hyberabad, and Ahmedabad. When we checked, the 5th generation Kindle is currently available for purchase for Rs 5999. It appears that Croma is handling the delivery of the 5th generation Kindle. The Kindle Paperwhite WiFi model is priced at Rs 10,999 and WiFi+3G model at Rs 13,999, Kindle Fire 7-inch at Rs 15,999 and Kindle Fire 8.9-inch at Rs 21,999 and will be available for purchase starting June 28, 2013. It's not clear whether retail store Croma will handle the delivery of other devices as well. Update: Amazon India has informed MediaNama that Croma will sell all the tablets and paper white on amazon.in and they may have other sellers as well for these and future devices. Update: Note that the 5th generation Kindle is available from Amazon.com for $69 or Rs 4028. Similarly, the Kindle Paperwhite WiFi only model is available for $139 or Rs 8114, Kindle Paperwhite WiFi+3G model for $199 or Rs 11,617, Kindle Fire 7-inch for $214 or Rs 12,500, and Kindle Fire 8.9-inch for $284 or Rs 16,500. Buying the Kindle eBook readers and tablets from Amazon.com turns out to be a lot cheaper than ordering from Amazon.in, however, in that case the user still has to take care of the shipping cost.
