e-book settlement finally approved - Page 10

Got my check today! Has to be from my Sony purchases. A big $14.60. I really didn't expect that much.

It just occurred to me that I moved since the last time I made a purchase from the Sony Store, so I doubt they will send my check to the correct address since they won't have it. I moved three years ago, so the USPS will no longer forward mail sent to my previous address. So I'm probably SOL on any check from Sony. Oh well, it probably would not have been much money anyway.

Currently on vacation and out of town, so no idea if I'll get anything from Sony. I'm not expecting much. I've bought more from Sony than from B&N and Amazon combined, but not as much as from Kobo, so I might get a couple of bucks. I saw my wife got something like $4 from B&N... She's bought very little from them (maybe $30-50?), but it's something if she decides to read another crochet/knitting cozy mystery.

I won't get any because I'm a monkey

...and quite possibly because I never bought any books

Did you not file an exemption to the class action suit asking for your settlement in bananas?

I did, but they denied my claim when they found out that I didn't buy any books during that time frame. Such a minor detail to get shot down over. Now I'm bananaless in Seattle

Got my checks for Penguin.com, Sony, and ARe today.

They must not have counted as many of the books as NYT best sellers as I had. And the Sony check shorted my by two books.

So nice to have them, but I had expected more.

I just got a settlement check from: E-Books AG Settlements Administrator which was about double the amount of credit I received from Amazon.

I presume it was for my Sony eBooks.

My check for Sony had my settlement ID number on the tiny strip at the bottom. So if yours has a number SNxxxxxxxxx it's from Sony.

I have not received an email from Kobo, but I just bought two books and received a $.73 store credit on one. I didn't think I had bought any agency books from them. Guess I did buy one or it transferred from Sony since my books transferred this morning.

No email here either, but my Kobo account is also showing a credit amount now.

For me as well, but for less than half of what it should be. I called the number listed in the checks and they are going to investigate what happened. I suspect they neglected to include the Borders titles though I was assured at the time they would be included.

Poodlemom1 · 03-31-2014, 04:44 PM

I just received the email from Kobo telling me my credit is 73 cents.
