It's hard to compete with the big boys. I may be completely mistaken, but I believe these guys are selling their ebook readers near or even below cost. All of these big players have online ebook stores, and the readers are a means to attract repeated ebook sales. The business model is probably similar to companies that sell really cheap printers, but they more than make up for it by selling you consumables (ink, drum etc) afterwards.
