100K-300K for a developer?
For my analysis, have taken $250K per developer. Given that total costs per employee are usually 2-3 times the salary of the employee that works out to an average of $83.33K to $125K per employee.
That’s very, very reasonable given that higher level executives at Lab 126 are probably earning a lot more, and there are probably few employees earning much less than $85K a year.

Mr. Bezos has said that the Kindle dicision isn’t profitable yet. So that means either they’re making a ton on Kindles and losing on books or, more likely, they aren’t making that much on Kindles and losing a bit on books.

because perhaps they intend to expand to other countries and use a SIM card.

Excuse me it doest have a SIM connector but I’m not sure why seeing as Sprint doesn’t use SIM card so I’m confused at why they would include it.

This new estimate still seems unreasonable.

$40 dollar a Kindle for advertisement???? Also 100-300K a year per developer seems more reasonable.

Disagree with me I don’t care I estimate it at about 230-250 a Kindle which still seems totally unreasonable.

The kindle doesn’t have a “SIM connector” Sprint uses no SIM cards at all none what so ever.

Yup. That’s what I was saying when the first number came out . . . way more to it than just the components. If it’s just the parts, I’d had to drive to the warehouse where the parts sat in boxes, picked them myself, assembled them, and then somehow made it work. Craziness. This is much more reasonable an estimate of the actual costs.

Besides which . . . obviously, it’s the right price for me since I paid it and am very happy with my purchase. So, there ya go.
