I wonder if they're selling both hardware and content at a slim margin so they can sell tons of it. That's certainly a new strategy for Amazon.

Oh and that estimate presumes Amazon had to settle for the same manufacturing deals as RIM. Maybe so, but if Amazon truly pre-sold half as many Fires in one day as Playbooks have sold ever, I doubt that will continue.
