Amazon is the largest online bookstore (besides selling other things) followed closely by Barnes and Noble. While Amazon does deliver books to India, the shipping costs make some of these purchases unworthy. Also, chances are most foreign author books will have an Indian Edition that costs less and these will not be available in Amazon.
FlipKart.com is an online Indian book store you can order from and have your books delivered at home. The pricing is pretty decent compared to other bookstores like Landmark or Crossword that mostly sell books at the printed price on the book. You will find discounts upto 33% on the books.
I ran a quick search for Sin City graphic novels and found some books that I have long been searching for but never found. Book descriptions are also pretty good but there aren't reviews and feedback like that is found in amazon. This is probably because of the lack of popularity of the website.
Dan Brown's next book - The lost symbol is available for pre-order at a 33% discount for Rs. 468 at FlipKart. The book features Brown's favorite hero Robert Langdon on another puzzle trail set in a time frame of 24 hours. If the previous books are a sign of things to come we can expect the book to be filled with interesting information. However, I wish they stop making the movies with Tom Hanks.
FlipKart does not sell used books and also does not sell digital copies of book purchased like how Amazon does. This would be a really nice feature for FlipKart to add.
