.kindle
generickindle
The .kindle domain extension is a generic top-level domain owned and operated by Amazon Registry Services, Inc. It is designed primarily for Amazon's Kindle brand, including e-readers, tablets, and related digital content and services. The registry restricts registrations to Amazon and its affiliated companies, meaning the general public cannot register a .kindle domain. This closed model keeps the namespace closely tied to Amazon's own products and marketing. The domain was delegated in June 2016, following Amazon's application during ICANN's new gTLD program. The technical backend is handled by Nominet, the UK registry operator. Amazon uses its branded TLDs to create a secure and recognizable online environment for customers, and .kindle fits that strategy for the Kindle ecosystem.
