Hopefully Kobo (+ Borders) will get the credits assigned soon.
Sony is sending checks. I can't remember what the books I bought from All Romance eBooks/Omni Lit and direct from Penguin are supposed to be. I'm thinking they were checks, too, but I'm too lazy to dig out the info. |

I got $29.20 from Amazon, more than I had thought it would be.

$8.76 from B&N. More than I expected - when I looked at the list of 12 books, it was almost all auto-buy authors. The two that weren't, I'm pretty sure were either freebies or $0.99 deals. So I got $0.73 back on them, which is pretty sweet.
Looking at my Kobo and Sony purchases, I don't know that anything qualified (I was actively avoiding agency), so that might be it for credits for me. |

I got my notice from B&N, but no credit yet. According to the email, I'm getting about $15, which is much less than I expected. Apparently a bunch of books that I thought were on the bestseller list actually weren't. I could have sworn books like Stephen King's Under the Dome were on the bestseller list, but I guess I was wrong. There were 5 or 6 books in my account like that. Oh well, I an get 2 new books when the credit finally arrives.

Woohoo! I'm rich! $1.46 from Amazon and $0.73 from Barnes & Noble! Drinks are on me... (assuming they're tap water) LOL Considering that I've fairly actively boycotted the publishers I couldn't find deals on and have mostly gotten free or cheap books at Amazon other than the F&SF subscription I have through them and haven't bought much more at B&N other than the Analog & Asimov's subscription, I'm not complaining. I might get a little from Sony and Kobo since I've bought more from Kobo than anyone else, but I'm not expecting a windfall.

e-book settlement finally approved
Well, I applied my pittance to "Dust" to finally get around to finishing the Silo series just as soon as I finish "I Am Legend". Something about the dystopian destruction of the world lately.

I got $5.11. But, as I moved to Spain and have switched my Kindle account to Amazon.es, I don't think I will be able to spend it. Oh well. I am going to contact support one of these days, when I have the time.
