The online retailer has seen profits drop by 73% in their last quarter after heavy investment in their tablet PC.
Amazon has spent heavily on developing their new Kindle tablet, which is seen as a direct competitor to the Apple iPad. Its believed that the Kindle is being sold by Amazon at a loss in an attempt to saturate the market with their device.
