Many people want to know how is the Kidle Fire which Amazon has just introduced to the market recently. Of course, Amazon knows this and makes a healthy, but not unreasonable, margin on every media sale. What’s more, they avoid having to pay 30% commission that Apple extracts when Amazon sells ebooks via the iPad. Because the profit stream from Amazon’s media products is boosted every time another customer buys a Kindle, Amazon can afford to price it at very low, or even negative margins. That gives them an advantage over standalone competitors. What’s more, Amazon can skimp on memory in the Kindle Fire—only 8 gigabytes – because owners can store an infinite number of books, songs, movies and documents on Amazon’s cloud servers at no cost. They even throw in a 30 day trial of Amazon Prime, the two-day delivery program that boosts loyalty among customers of Amazons non-digital goods.
