It would be awesome if Amazon could force registrants to contractually agree to follow Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics.

What about bro.bot? It doesn't seem like there are too many 'fun' words that end in .bot
fem.bot? with apologies to Austin Powers & Steve Austin.

For certain definitions of 'awesome'; we'd be inviting murder and deception and all manner of crime via robot. I think the lesson from Asimov is that we can't bank on a simple set of laws to protect us from killer robots. The zeroth law is most important, as well. If we try this route we'd have to be sure to implement that law first. > A robot may not harm humanity; or through inaction allow humanity to come to harm.

This!
I figure that as this is an Amazon product it will most likely be available through their domain registration via Route 53. After wading through the control panel, I finally found the domain registration section. But there is no .bot option as yet. Judging by the pricing of other boutique TLDs, listed there, it will probably be a rip off. (Yup, all pure conjecture on my part.)
That said, I didn't even realize Amazon had a domain registration section. I'm with you that it'll be a total rip off. I'm hoping it's not that absurd because it'd be a really fun one to own!
