News is coming out today about a new marketing technique that Amazon is using to sell Kindle ebook readers in India.

Kobo Aura HD vs Onyx Boox T68 Lynx Comparison Review (Video)
The Kobo Aura HD and Onyx Boox T68 are the only two ebook readers currently available that feature E Ink’s 6.8-inch display, so a comparison review between them is needed to determine which device is better.
