IHS iSuppli revised its earlier cost breakdown for the Amazon Kindle Fire to a lower figure in a more final estimate that showed Amazon was still taking a loss on each device sold.

A look at the final product showed that there were cost savings even beyond what had been expected, including on the inside.
