It's inconvenient to get your credit cards all replaced, but it's still safer to use CCs than cash, because if your cash is stolen, there's no recourse at all. |

I beg to differ, and so do others.
For example, the following article addresses what companies should NOT do before, during, and after a breach: JULIE CRESWELL and NICOLE PERLROTH. (SEPT. 19, 2014). "Technology: Ex-Employees Say Home Depot Left Data Vulnerable." The New York Times. And this post documents some consequences suffered by a number of companies (and multiple stakeholder groups) after said companies did not respond appropriately after their data was hacked: Karen Chu. (August 24, 2014). "Security: The Right (And Wrong) Way to Respond to a Data Breach." Bitium. The implications - tangible and intangible - are greater than those you noted.

For some what Target is adding is the ability to get the ebooks from a store that they know. With the multitude of computer security concerns a lot of people are warry of surfing to large e-stores such as amazon. Target offers a web site that they can be more sure that it does not have virus and other hacking schemes. Although there is some foundation for these sort of issues, computer security eperts that I work with every day say that Amazon is a "safe" site.

Target, on the other hand: If anything, that is an excellent example of everything Target cannot offer. I suspect the real answer to "what can Target offer" is nothing, except the faint hope that they will remain relevant. That is not an offer to customers, it is an offer to shareholders. |

..LOL! (And Target's décor is a hot red. How do you feel when visiting Walmart, whose décor is a cold blue?)

Well, at the moment I've got about 100 titles I can't find in any of the library systems I'm hooked into. Or the 3M cloud from 3 libraries. So, I'll do a quick search and see how many are in librify...
'Cause if they aren't cheaper there than Amazon, I'm sure not gonna pay to join....... Back in a bit... |

Found a GRAND total of OND BOOK from my to-be-found list...
Only One I'm actually after is Patterson's NYPD RED 3. And they want TWELVE DOLLARS for the thing as a MEMBER... I must not be the demographic they're after... LOTTA chick lit, though. And a LOT of really old stuff from several years and a half dozen newer books ago. |
