If (in the unlikely event) Amazon did the same thing again, there'd be no point in suing them if your only financial loss what the cost of buying a legitimate copy of the book so that you could carry on reading it.

No, we have no way of knowing if student showed any such thing...this was an out of court settlement which means nothing was proved or disproved...it means Amazon saw it to their advantage to settle...it has nothing to do with the student being able to show a damn thing. Even if the student was not able to show damage, it probably STILL was worth the PR for Amazon to settle...that is what this means...
