Yeah, but what you're failing to factor in (if you're a typical Kindle user) is how much profit your heavy usage generates for Amazon in book sales. So, for heavy users who buy mostly from the Kindle store, Amazon could actually give the Voyage away and still make money. That's why Kindle prices dropped so much from the original model prices -- that and the technology became much cheaper over the years.
