That's 30 ebooks at $10 an e-book--more when you consider many books are less than that.
If they give that much credit, the average person who only reads a handful of books a year may opt for one since it's basically free in the long run and it could be years before amazon sees any profit from them.
Now if you said $50-100 in credit, that would be a more feasible promotion.

Try this Point of View.
You spend 300-350 for the Kindle, and you get 30 free books valued at 9.99 each or less. Or even, 300 in free books. You still have paid for the Kindle, and Amazon, as it is, is making a killing with their books. Maybe not with the best-sellers or what-not, but with a 10-35% cut from uploaded materials, they can easily afford to offset the deal of giving away 300 in books.
Or this. Kindle cost 350, or, if you spend 450 now, you get 300 bucks in free books (a savings of 150). You have to purchase the books within a year, maybe 2) of Kindle purchase.
