Hi Uma, well, there might be a few books available in electronic format. And publishers like Pearson are considering selling books in e format. And subscribing to book share may help to some extent. Inclusive planet will also do its bit.

Once Rajesh sir has written a very good mail clearly explaining the challenges faced in the profession of law. I remember forwarding the same mail to you. Go through it again.
