The Nook, maybe they lose money on it. But I am sure that Amazon is a smart enough negotiator to make sure that they are NOT losing money on the Fire. Nobody (including iSupply) really knows what everybody actually pays for components, and when someone like Amazon comes along, all the equipment makers are starting to salivate and big discounts will be given.
Not that the Fire is a big money maker either, obviously. It doesn't need to be.
