We are getting credit for overpriced books
Just received this email from Amazon concerning credit we will get for purchased books based on the settlement between the US DOJ and Hachette, Harper Collins, and Simon & Schuster.

Haha. The first paragraph of that is in my phone clipboard as I came here to post the same.
Good news. Curious how much I'll get... |

Yeah I was trying to remember how long ago the infamous price fixing began. I know I bought a lot of books published by Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster, so hopefully I'll get enough to purchase at least a few books for free! I suspect we will only see pennies on the dollar, but who knows.

Cool that we heard from Amazon. I haven't heard a thing from Sony, B&N, and Apple, and I bought books from their bookstores too, especially Sony's.

I got this email too. I think I have about 600 Amazon ebooks...and all but two of them were freebies. I imagine they're sending the email to anyone who has any ebooks, but I'd be really surprised if it turns out either of the two books I bought actually get a refund.
I doubt either one of them was an Agency book. I remember I bought one by accident (thought it was free, but it wasn't). The other one was a $1.99 book I couldn't find anywhere else. |

I have about 250 Kindle books, all of them freebies. I did not receive the email.
