Amazon To Lose $10 Per Kindle Fire 181

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday October 01, 2011 @12:50PM from the on-hardware-anyway dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a manufacturing cost breakdown, it turns out Amazon is willing to sell its new Kindle Fire at a $10 loss. An analyst estimates that the Kindle Fire, priced at $199, actually costs $209.63 to produce. That said, the device is likely to be much more valuable to Amazon through content sales and the ability to drive more purchases through its website."
