Yeah. I tried accessing the UK site but it automatically converts it into the high Indian price. The thing here is even popular books take a year or so to come out in the market and one can many YA books only after it has been made into a movie or something like that.

Oh no! I just looked at the price and it's outrageous! It converts to way over the normal price. Sorry . . . And it's a shame because in the UK it seems to be on sale . . . is there no way to buy it from the UK site or does it not work?

Oh!I don't have Kindle and mostly I prefer buying books. And in India your books are really expensive.

But ZA is not. I'm thinking about bringing out a paperback version at some point next year though. I think you can get ZA on other devices other than Kindle but I'm not sure how to do that.
