It's interesting that these unsubsidized devices are starting to drop to prices closer to those that are partially supported by tie-in to a particular book seller.

I don't know much about the situation of E-Book Readers, but devices from Apple are almost at net cost price at launch and start to draw profit in the following months since the hardware components become cheaper each month. They produce this deveices continually, not just at the launch window.
