Yes, it is difficult to determine without any breakdowns/volumes. Apple does report gross margins for hardware sales (around 40%), and number of units sold for *most* of their products (no iPod Hifi or AppleTV numbers ), which is more than any eReader manufacturer has released-but even then it is difficult to break it out by product.
