Honestly, we’re not sure what to make of all the rumors and leaks surrounding Amazon recently. It’s safe to assume the company is working on a tablet, and we’re long overdue for an update to E-Ink Kindle. But, a recent round of domain registrations has sent the interwebs into a tizzy with some suggesting a new product, dubbed the Kindle Air, is in the pipeline. Though Amazon’s name doesn’t appear anywhere in the registrant information for Kindleair.com, the name MarkMonitor does – the firm Bezos and crew just used to register kindlesocialnetwork.com and kindlesocialnetworking.com. Now, companies pickup domains all the time just to protect their brand, and it seems a bit odd that Amazon would choose a moniker so similar to a particular sliver of aluminum and silicon out of Cupertino. Unfortunately, we’ll just have to wait and see if an even lighter and thinner e-reader is on its way from the Seattle company.Amazon snatches up Kindle related domains, Kindle Air rumors start circulating originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 09 Aug 2011 17:37:00 EDT.
