Retail value of the Kindle Fire does not cover their manufacturing costs …

The Amazon is the same in order to enter the market of tablets. The Kindle Fire, your device running Google Android, it costs$ 199 in the United States. The competitive value, however, is below the true cost that the company has to produce the Fire. With this, you are registering losses.

The iSuppli, which specializes in electronic components, set up a basic table with all the items needed to build one unit of the Amazon Kindle Fire. From the beginning, there was the preliminary estimate of each Kindle Fire cost US$ 209,63. By reviewing the table of costs, the iSuplli now discloses the amount of US$ 201,70 for a Fire to be ready.

With this, the Amazon would be taking a loss of almost 2 dollars to put your tablet with a competitive price.

The Kindle Fire is the cheaper of its category among the tablets produced by large companies. Created by Amazon, it competes directly with the Nook Tablet, Barnes & Noble, whose price is set at$ 249 in the United States.

Amazon takes advantage of buying on a large scale to cheapen the production of the Kindle Fire with time. In addition, the tablet with display of 7-inch bet on specifications much more into account: only 8 GB of storage space for content, and 512 MB of RAM memory.

Obviously, we have to remember that the strong point of Amazon is to sell multimedia products. The Kindle Fire is the gateway to the movie rental and sale of books that the company is in the tablet, and this is the strategy that the company intends to take to balance the damage with the tablet. At least in that first moment.
