It says in the article that Amazon loses $1 per ebook sold, but it doesn't say how much they gain per ebook sold internationally (add $2).
The $2 covers the air time to d/l the ebook as many times as you want FOREVER (or as long as you own a Kindle and Amazon still exists.) I don't really think this is a major profit center for them.
