They have started inviting Indian Advertisers to signup. Expect more local results and wider rollout soon.

Sponsored only listing would make it a terrible offering. Flipkart is already not on Junglee.

According to Medianama, Flipkart is a partner in this case along with Myntra, Jabong, Naaptol and others.

hehe ok. i guess that makes sense. Amazon is a competitor. google is not.

Right. They made sure of that when they exited the Mp3 business. Expecting ebooks next. 😛

ya its become useless now after sponsor listing as most of the time it showing the most expensive deal.
In earlier format we could just enter the item and boom lowest prices would pop up done.

 

[Sushubh]

right. but ebooks is not a huge business. and would not be unless flipkart launch their own ebook readers. android tablets and ipads are not really suited for prolonged ebook reading.google play books also need an android based ebook reader. Amazon has a major advantage here.

It would promote the deal which is bidding the highest. But I am quite sure you would still be able to sort it on the basis of price. Just do not expect it to feature deals from all stores in India.

hehe. this is great. Amazon is competing with flipkart for placement here and they are winning. but the eventual winner is google.
