Did they do it? Or were they hacked? I don't suppose it makes much 
difference as long at you dodged the bullet.

Iget their daily emails of listings in the categories I have selected - the
link sends me to Amazon if I pull the trigger. I seldom go for a cookbook
since I subscribe to NYT Cooking, Taste of Home, Simply Recipes, Saveur,
and Stephanie Manley's CopyKat.com list.

If you take one of their selections you'll be whisked to B&N's website I
suppose.

 RH> I'm not saving nearly as much as I was when I first got on the echo.
 RH> Noe I look for something specific.

My "Echomail" database in MealMaster is over 23K recipes - all I have 
either downloaded or uploaded from/to the echo over the years. My Taste
of Home base is approaching 6K and the NYT base is over 4K.

Here's a copykat from a joint you like ...
