> Kindle is a loss leader?

What do you think "Kindle" is? Is it a specific device? Is it Kindle for Web? Is it the Android or iPhone apps? Is it Kindle for Windows or Kindle for Mac? Among these, can you count how many are paid?

At $50, Kindle Fire tablets sure are. The regular Kindles, maybe less so.
