Amazon reports stunning revenue but profit drops


Amazon's net sales increased  35% to $17.43 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $12.95 billion in fourth quarter 2010. 
Profits at the web giant fell to $260 million  in the fourth quarter, compared with $474 million in fourth quarter 2010. This could be due to the sale of the Kindle Fire, which they are reportedly being sold at a loss. 
Sales of the Kindle Fire and e-reader devices registered growth of 65% in terms of unit volume. 
They predict sales to be between $12.0 billion and $13.4 billion, or to grow between 22% and 36% compared with first quarter 2011. While operating income is expected to be $100 million, representing a 69% decline compared with first quarter 2011.
