Amazon can compensate pretty easily. $14.99 - $9.99 = $4

Real simple.

I do understand that it is not that simple and it is not going to work that way. I also know that there is going to be an outcry if part of that $151 settlment money does not find its way into the hands of consumers.

I do think it would be harder for BN and Kobo to make a determination then Amazon because their stores had not been open as long. I am not even 100% certain how long Kobo was on the scene when Agency Pricing hit. Amazon had an established pricing scheme that was pretty well known, it was the cause of the problem. So it would be easier for Amazon to come up with something.
