When a company talks about cost price they're including development costs and those have long since been amortized. They're a significant part of the cost. So my guess is that Paperwhite sales are profitable these days even before we buy content.
Please don't take this as a complaint. I have a Voyage and a Paperwhite and personally I prefer the Paperwhite. I think it's worth every penny and if Amazon is making money on their sales that's fine with me.
