Penguin India and its subsidiary, Author Solutions, have set up a company to enable aspiring Indian authors to self-publish their books and distribute them across the world. The company, named Partridge Publishing, provides services that cover all facets of publishing from editing to design and marketing to sales.

Amazon has launched a Kindle Store specifically for India where books can be bought in rupees. While this looks interesting with works by a number of Indian authors also being made available, what is just as exciting is that Indians can finally get their hands on a Kindle without having to import it themselves. Amazon has tied up with Tata's Croma to offer the Kindle for Rs. 6999.
