That would depend on how many they sold and what the variable costs were. If their variable costs were nil, and they sold billions of them every second I'm sure it would be profitable. Most of Amazon's staff and other fixed costs are caused by them selling real items anyway. If they moved to a purely digital stock using automated systems those costs would be a lot lower.
