The Rpi Zero has better CPU than the Kindle Paper White. The original sale price was $5. No way Kindle chip BOM is much more than that.

Most of the rest of your calculations mostly make sense.

Fair. I was bundling ports, memory, and connectors in the mainboard cost, but it's probably still on the high end.
