No profit from the sale of the device.
Which makes no statement about effects on revenue by its use.

That is like saying they make no profit from the sale of the Dash Button, which is "free" (as in: "Free Lunch") after the first press.

Well, yes, of course the PW is sold at cost in order to generate profit from book sales. Oasis buyers presumably also buy books, but, unlike the PW, I'm sure that Amazon make a hefty profit from the actual sale of the Oasis.
