I'm not sure why you would lose money on a basic-only deal. You are obviously getting a bulk discount on buying most of the deluxe kit, so it would seem possible to negotiate a bulk discount on buying just the unit itself. The logic escapes me as why that would lose money. That said, thanks for the effort

I love you all, but I'm not about to pay out of my own pocket for you to own a Cybook. And given that our $375 price is far less than the $450 of the regular Deluxe Cybook Gen3, I think it's a pretty good deal for this device. Plus, we actually break even on the deal.
