Is there a way that Kindle can keep track of Student Assignments?

Question is at the top. I'm interested in buying a Kindle, but I want to know if there is a way to keep track of my assignments on there as well, (I will be a college sophomore next semester). I mean I know I can download the pdf or word doc files for my syllabi, but is there like an app on it that will allow me to keep a schedule of what I need to do from day to day?
