That doesn't add up, unless they sell the Illiad to their business partners for something like 400 euros.

Actually, I think you just hit the nail. It seems very reasonable for iRex to sell the iLiad at a considerable discount to its business partners. For instance, think about the newspapers who want to attract new subscribers through their e-papers. It's possible that iRex will get a share of the revenue back from these newspapers, so why not sell the iLiads at a discount?
I think the numbers add up just nicely.
