You do know that the Kindle is subsidized by book sales, right? That and the fact that Amazon has both economies of scale and a zero-profit/market-domination strategy.
The Visionect kit is cheaper, more capable and better supported than comparable dev kits.
- dublinben 11y agoThe Kindle might be subsidized in a general sense, but Amazon does not sell the devices at a loss. The base hardware cost is roughly equal to the selling price.[0] I would expect something similar from a barebones developer kit.
