Amazon Wireless sells
someone else's phones. Mp3/Cloud Player
someone else's music, Android Market
someone else's apps.
They are a retailer. They sell things other people make. They are very good at it. They created the Kindle to create a market to sell someone else's books to.
They make money as a channel for selling content, and by doing it more efficiently than others.
