So what are you saying? That iSuppli is giving numbers without estimating volume? Their numbers are what someone could use to buy components in quantity 1 off the street? That could be possible..but its the uncertainty and lack of transparency of the process that makes me question their numbers.
On a related note-I noticed replacement screens for the Kindle1 and 2 are around $100, while the Nook is $200. If the screens (eInk only) are comparable, it is an interesting comparison of buying in volume, even for repair shops.
