I would not assume they bought anything.
I'm not assuming. I am going by their words here "What are we doing with the revenue that we generate from the ereader and tablet sales? We intend on purchasing even more units from all over the world!" and here "We pre-ordered one because B&N does not send out demo units to reviewers."

I'm not saying they purchase every unit they review. But according to them they purchase at least some.
