ProfCrash · 12-13-2013, 11:45 AM

I have 226 books purchased in the time frame. Any book that has been a best seller is worth $3.06, all others are worth $0.73. If all of my books were best sellers (and they are not) I would get $691.56. If none of them were best sellers I would get $164.98. I am guessing that I will get somewhere in the neighborhood of $300.

If I read the settlement page correctly, that does not include Apple money. If I read Amazon's email right, that money can only be used for e-books.

I hope that it can be used for anything at Amazon because there is a great Tea Machine that I want and I would love to use that money for that. If not, I guess I won't feel guilty about buying some more ebooks for a while.

I am also surprised by the dates, 1 APR 2010 makes sense. But the end date is 21 May 2012 which strikes me as early. I guess I would have thought that some time in 2013 makes sense but I could be totally off the timing.
