Exactly.
As I said above, they're an e-book store (and general online store for tons of stuff) first, hardware company second.
They want to sell Kindles as they make a profit on them and have been doing so even with being slow in price drops relative to other e-ink devices--including Sony who's their main competitor.
But they want to expand the Kindle store market and get people locked into their Mobi DRM more than anything else.
