Amazon acquires KindleTutor.com

Kindle Tutor

Amazon is overflowing with all sorts of Kindle products from the all-new Kindle Fire tablet to the Kindle e-reader.

So what’s in store next for the Kindle family? 

Well, according to a recent domain name acquisition by Amazon.com Holdings, it’s possible an online tutoring service or app is on the way.

On December 27, Amazon acquired the domain name KindleTutor.com, as shown in its WHOIS record.

While this is only speculation, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Amazon launch a “Kindle Tutor” app, particularly for its Kindle Fire.  Earlier this month, Amazon released an OTA update to address performance and touchscreen issues.

At the time of this story going online, KindleTutor.com does not resolve to a website.
