2.  India is ready to become a major player in the e-publishing
market in the next few years. Major publishing companies
such as Macmillan and Prentice Hall are seeking affordable
ways to publish digital copies of their books. Ashok Bagdy, a
business process outsourcing expert, encourages U.S.
publishers to outsource their copy to India for better prices.
The e-book industry has grown tremendously in the last
several years, even bypassing printed book sales in 2011.
Academic and medical journals are also jumping into the e-
book market. In just one year, e-book sales rose from 6
percent of the book market to 15 percent.

3. More people are reading books on small,
portable readers such as the Kindle, Nook,
and iPad. These handy devices are
affordable and easily hold hundreds of
titles. Ashok Bagdy predicts that more
publishers will choose the e-book format in
the near future, perhaps outsourcing to
India for better prices.
