Amazon’s Kindle Fire cost may come down

The price tag of the Kindle Fire from Amazon has come down ever since the launch of the tablet the previous year. The company has also gone on to slash the prices of the Kindle Fire to stir up the competition in the market. The production cost has gone down by about 28%.

In November last year, the component cost that went into making an Amazon Kindle Fire was about $185.60. It has now come down to $133.80. This is an estimate that has been made available by IHS iSuppli. IHS iSuppli keeps a track of the supply chains involved in tech products.

The decline in the price tag was driven by the receding prices in the displays, the memory chips as well as the touch screen from the available data from IHS iSuppli. To add to the falling prices, Amazon is most likely to launch a latest version of Kindle Fire. Therefore, more price cuts are imminent.

Experts feel that if the company is ready to cut down on the component costs, there shouldn’t be any reason why they won’t cut the price of the unit.
