Jeff Bezosrevealed to the BBCthat Amazon makes no profit off the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire HD . Both devices are sold at cost , which intend , both gimmick ’ terms is how much it costs Amazon to make them .
That sell ironware for no profit iscertainly much unlike from Apple ’s strategy(they make a profit on every iPhone and iPad sold ) but not so unlike from video game companies who ’ve traditionally sold their console ( Xbox 360 , PS3 , etc . ) at a loss . The thought there is to make up the earnings lost in the cabinet with the monetary value of secret plan and peripherals . That ’s the same with Amazon . expend a Kindle and you ’ll be buying stuff through Amazon . It ’s like Amazon is providing everybody with slick shopping handcart in tablet form .

Amazon has say that they do n’t like much about making money off the hardware products , effectively say they do n’t handle about people buying their products but rather people using their products . As each Kindle and Kindle Fire is tied to Amazon ’s ever growing , sell everything computer storage , they ’ll still be make off Kindles and Kindle Fires anyway . Just not the old fashioned way .
