Amazon goes on a massive buying spree, buys over 500 Kindle Fire & Silk domains
The announcement of the all-new Kindle Fire and Silk browser set to be released on November 15, 2011, has ignited a massive domain name buying spree by Amazon.
On the very same day Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire, the company registered well over 500 domain names related to the Kindle Fire and Silk browser products, through the brand protection company MarkMonitor.
The names range from 3gKindleFire.com to KindleFireClouddrive.com, and SilkSmartphones.com to SilkHTML5.com.
While many of the registrations are certainly defensive in nature, some of the registrations may hint at future plans for Amazon’s newest products.
Because the list of registrations is so long, you can view the registrations here.
