Amazon has won the right to sell domain names ending in .book. Sky News reported that the online retailer bested competition from eight other companies, including Google, and "is understood to have paid up to $10 million at a private auction, just days after shelling out $4.6 million for .buy." The auctions were a result of a decision last year by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers "to create scores of new domain name suffixes as alternatives to the likes of .com and .co.uk."
