Maybe someone could look into this
That still doesn't necessarily mean than Amazon is making money off of the Kindle.

If they are selling it at a price that is higher than their costs to produce it, than they are making money.

If they are selling it at a price that is lower, like DirecTV does for their receivers, than it depends on whether the average Kindle users buys enough e-books from Amazon to make up the difference.
