Jeff didn't go into the breakdown of Kindle profits on our last phone chat. But if Amazon with all its advantages isn't making at least some profit on its Kindles, someone should be fired.

I'm not questioning whether one aspect/device-line is profitable or not. Nor do I care. I'm trying to determine what all falls under the "Amazon’s devices unit" (of which the Alexa division is a part) mentioned in the article quoted in the OP.
