A lot of that is probably just the manufacturing cost.

Who said anything about giving it away for free?  Amazon probably gives 
2 pounds or something to the dictionary publisher for each Kindle sale. 
  The dictionary publisher is happy because they are getting loads of 
extra money for basically doing nothing (beyond preparing the data for 
the Kindle).
