9.  E-Books have not yet made significant progress in
Pakistan. And no national statistics are available. A handful
of academic and commercial publishers have recently
begun taking small steps into e-book publishing.
 One of the reasons for this slow pace is the high prices of
eReaders and tablets. An iPad tablet will cost you R50,000
while the entry level Kindle eReader is for approximately
Rs 20,000
