Can you point to any official release where Amazon states that the cost of manufacturing a Kindle ereader is greater than the retail price?
The advert "subsidised" ones may be close to cost price. I'm not sure they would risk generally subsidising them, and certainly in 2007 they didn't, though the 3G connection on the models with it was / is subsidised, hence limits on it for non-Amazon activities.
