I wouldn't think so since Fictionwise stopped selling books from those publishers when they went Agency.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to track down all that info for the time period. I don't think I bought many Agency books, but I did buy some when there were $0.99 - $3.99 deals. Here's what the settlement site says about "other retailers" (Diesel, ARe/OmniLit, ebooks.com, etc. I'd assume)... Quote:

Got an email from Amazon a few days ago about this but have now also received one from Barnes and Noble.

Got emails from Sony & Kobo today. I think that covers all of the stores I've bought from that are still in business (also bought from Books on Board and Borders).

Does anyone have any idea how they are going to handle the Apple penalty? The Publishers payouts are more clear cut "You bought X number of books from the five publishers. You get Y number of dollars." How will they potentially divy up the Apple money? I am hoping that is a different payout so that they can get this credit out sooner rather then later.
I would be cool with dividing the amount by the number of affected books sold and each person getting a per book allotment but that is probably too simple. |

As shown in my post #35 above, there is still a hearing scheduled for December 6 for Penguin and Macmillan settlements, so it will most likely be at least 1st quarter of 2014 before payments get distributed.

Retailers are saying they expect credits to start in January 2014 (assuming the settlement is approved Dec. 6th of course).

Anyone rise thinks there is a correlation between Amazon's new Matchbook feature and the settlement payouts?

None whatsoever. Why do you think there is?

As people get settlement returns their account will fill up with micro payments, the same kind of amounts you can spend on Matchbook. It will be a simple click to buy those e-books with the money from the publishers. I'm not implying anything sinister, just that the timing is rather close, hence it might have been a factor deciding the timing.
