Amazon buys education tech company
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-576...pany-tenmarks/

Quote:
Amazon has purchased TenMarks, an online math tutoring service, the companies announced Thursday.
Dave Limp, Amazon's vice president of Kindle, said in a press release that TenMarks is a good match for Amazon. With this acquisition, Amazon will focus on developing education content and applications.
"Amazon and TenMarks share the same passion for student learning. TenMarks's award-winning math programs have been used by tens of thousands of schools and Amazon engages with millions of students around the world through our Kindle ecosystem," he said in the release.

TenMarks is a great supplemental tool. We used it one summer. I'd love to see a tablet version of this -- free would be nice.

To put things in perspective Amazon currently rivals Wal-Mart as a store, Apple as a device maker, and IBM as a data services provider. I still think they are a hugely undervalued company.

I bet Mr. Limp got his share of bad jokes about his surname as a kid.
