e-book settlement finally approved - Page 11

jswinden · 03-31-2014, 06:26 PM

I got an email from Kobo today stating I had $0.73 USD credit. I think I bought one book from Kobo before getting so disgusted with their Kobo Touch firmware fiascos that I returned the touch. I had actually forgotten about buying a book from them. Oh well, I seriously doubt I will ever use the credit since I don't buy their books.

Also got the Kobo e-mail and credit; I thought I'd be getting a lot more, but now I realize that I bought a lot of RH books from Kobo when they were couponable--before RH went agency. Oh well.

hwlester · 03-31-2014, 10:44 PM

I got my Kobo email ($0.73) and my Sony check ($1.46) today. Added to the B&N and Amazon ones, I got $4.38.

I think that should be it. Considering I really wasn't expecting anything, I guess that's a windfall.

I think my wife got the same amount from B&N which is the only place she's bought from.

Same thing happened to me. I forgot RH was once non Agency.

OMG - I got a check for 124.11 today. This had to be from those Sony gift cards I bought, figuring that I'd still be getting a discount on the books. Once those were gone, I refused to buy another agency ebook.

bevdeforges · 04-01-2014, 01:48 AM

I was wondering what would happen with the settlement with the Sony bookstore closing. But I got a check for $11.93 - and here I thought I had avoided buying anything from the publishers involved!

laughingdragons · 04-01-2014, 02:41 AM

I got a credit in my kobo account for $24.34. That shocked me I figured I'd get $2-3.

ProfCrash · 04-01-2014, 07:23 AM

I am wondering if I bought a ton of my books from RH without realizing it. I hav enot taken them time to go through my list at Amazon and see who published what, call me lazy but it is a lot of books and Amazon's system sucks for such research.

jersysman · 04-01-2014, 08:13 AM

I didn't get anything from anyone, but like TM it's because I purposely didn't buy any Agency books. I was too cheap at the time to purchase them when I still could get PD and books cheaper from elsewhere.

Our two man boycott crushed Agency pricing. That'll teach them to mess with us.

Don't you mean one man and a monkey?

I'm about 99% certain that all/most of my agency "purchases" were freebies (or possibly reduced price) since I didn't purchase if I couldn't find a good deal.

Got an email from Kobo as well. I got a credit of $2.92. Certainly not gonna complain, that's for sure.

goldilocks · 04-01-2014, 06:35 PM

I got the Kobo email and received $.73 in store credit!!

Kokomo Lee · 04-04-2014, 05:28 PM

Have received 2 checks so far: a Sony check for $5.36, and another check for $1.46 that is probably from Books on Board. The first beer is on me!
