If you've been curious to know what it costs to make the Kindle 2, iSuppli has dismantled Amazon's digital reader, taken stock of all its components, and come up with an estimated price tag of $185.49--or roughly half the Kindle 2's retail price of $360.

I believe that most products in the market sells by 2xcost like this one , even after calculating advertising , marketing , transport ,... it would be a large gap between products original cost and retail price.
