New "local" online bookstore!

I tried out this website flipkart.com to order some books and I was thoroughly impressed because my book arrived in a box with the flipkart logo all over like it does from Amazon.com! Also, they included an order slip with the enclosed book highlighted. What's even better is that they have books that aren't really available in the local bookstores so I'm kind of going crazy hanging out at flipkart these days.
It's a startup company so I hope they keep up their standards - India needs its own Amazon!

ps - shipping is free!

I recently bought a book from flipkart (one that I hadn't been able to find in a bookstore anywhere). It arrived in one and a half days! Seems quite promising. :)
