states reach $69 million settlement in ebook pricing lawsuit

Ebook-buying consumers in 49 states (all except Minnesota) and five territories are set to receive $69 million as the result of a settlement between the states and HarperCollins, Hachette and Simon & Schuster. If the settlement is approved, the three publishers, who are also settling with the Department of Justice in the federal antitrust suit, will pay a total of $69 million to consumers who bought agency-priced ebooks between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012.
What I've been able to glean from looking around

* the settlement amount varies by state
* consumers will be reimbursed depending on the ebooks purchased and whether the ebooks were bestsellers.
* consumers will be reimbursed either by check or credits to their ebook purchasing account (e.g. if you bought a bunch of affected nook books, you can choose to have B&N credit your portion of the settlement to your account with them.
* once the settlement has been in force 30 days, refunds will begin.

I wonder how much I will get?
