Court Settlement eMail from Amazon? - Page 2

drofgnal · 10-13-2012, 04:42 PM

I got one too! I'll just accept the credit and use it toward books or music CDs.

NickyWithNook · 10-13-2012, 04:48 PM

I got one too! I imagine I'll just put it toward another ebook purchase. I can't imagine I'll get very much.

ProfCrash · 10-13-2012, 08:05 PM

I will be interested to see how much I will get. I am guessing less than $5

Pushka · 10-13-2012, 09:07 PM

Yes and not everyone received one.

ProfCrash · 10-13-2012, 09:42 PM

Has any other company even sent an email?

DianNC · 10-13-2012, 11:02 PM

By the way, it's not just the publishers mentioned in the email. If you check the link included, there's information on other publishers, as well. Penguin is mentioned.

So I assume this is being offered only to those holding US accounts ?
I have 2 Amazon accounts I received the email on the US one but not the Aussie one. I make the majority of my purchases with my Aussie account, the US one had only a few initial purchases on the gift card to set it up after that they are all only freebie books.

I was wondering the same thing - I received the email from Amazon, but nothing from Sony yet, and I definitely have qualifying purchases there, too.

I doubt you'll get anything. It only applies to US citizens.

Harry, I don't believe you are correct. I have an Australian account and received the Email.

And your Amazon account has an Australian address on it? If so, that surprises me, given that this is assuredly a US-only settlement.

Bummer, but I'm not surprised.

There is more information below the Amazon email. You have to be a US resident and not in the state of Minnesota, their Attorney General did not participate. The US courts can only effect Businesses operating in the US. I believe that the EU is looking into this subject. I thought I had read that all of the companies had settled.

Kumabjorn · 10-14-2012, 03:37 PM

I wonder if there will be an option to donate your refund to be used for children who needs reading material?

If by "other company" you mean Sony or B&N or Kobo (for example), then the answer is no. I received the Amazon email, but the majority of my agency book purchases have been in EPUB format.
