Didn't Amazon provide the infrastructure for Target's online store at one time? Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you.

Oh well, no big loss. I buy my Kindles from ChinaMart.
I get mine with free two day shipping from Amazon and no sales tax. Also have a 3% (think that is the number) all the time price reduction by using an Amazon credit card. How can Target compete with that especially now that Walmart is carrying Kindle also?

There is a lot more profit to be made from selling an Apple product that has a 30 to 50% mark up.
