I was looking to purchase a pdf copy of the "Beginning ASP.NET 4.5: in C# and VB". The Wrox site lists http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...118387996.html at a price of about $32, quite normal for US. But I stay at Mumbai, India and the cost for purchasing in terms of Rupees is arround 1969.

Generally in India we pay around Rs 500 for such a purchase.

Additionally, there are some discounted versions available, for instance at flipkart http://www.flipkart.com/beginning-as...7-2bb482df6f1f, but I soon realized that I its not in PDF format and I have to use their web reader to read the book from my PC.

Keeping in mind the above facts, I would like to suggest the author to make avaliable, a low priced PDF ebook for Indian Readers. Relying on third party ebook readers does not seem to be a prudent option as I found out that that there are considerable formatting issues (like the code snippets not formatted, font-size issues, large gaps in multiple places), offline viewing issues, etc..

regards,
Jatin

Hi there,

This is not something I can control as an author. These decisions are made by Wrox, the publisher.

Cheers,

Imar
