Hopefully Kobo (+ Borders) will get the credits assigned soon.

Sony is sending checks. I can't remember what the books I bought from All Romance eBooks/Omni Lit and direct from Penguin are supposed to be. I'm thinking they were checks, too, but I'm too lazy to dig out the info.

$8.76 from B&N. More than I expected - when I looked at the list of 12 books, it was almost all auto-buy authors. The two that weren't, I'm pretty sure were either freebies or $0.99 deals. So I got $0.73 back on them, which is pretty sweet.

Looking at my Kobo and Sony purchases, I don't know that anything qualified (I was actively avoiding agency), so that might be it for credits for me.

I got my notice from B&N, but no credit yet. According to the email, I'm getting about $15, which is much less than I expected. Apparently a bunch of books that I thought were on the bestseller list actually weren't. I could have sworn books like Stephen King's Under the Dome were on the bestseller list, but I guess I was wrong. There were 5 or 6 books in my account like that. Oh well, I an get 2 new books when the credit finally arrives.

Woohoo! I'm rich! $1.46 from Amazon and $0.73 from Barnes & Noble! Drinks are on me... (assuming they're tap water) LOL Considering that I've fairly actively boycotted the publishers I couldn't find deals on and have mostly gotten free or cheap books at Amazon other than the F&SF subscription I have through them and haven't bought much more at B&N other than the Analog & Asimov's subscription, I'm not complaining. I might get a little from Sony and Kobo since I've bought more from Kobo than anyone else, but I'm not expecting a windfall.

e-book settlement finally approved

Well, I applied my pittance to "Dust" to finally get around to finishing the Silo series just as soon as I finish "I Am Legend". Something about the dystopian destruction of the world lately.

I got $5.11. But, as I moved to Spain and have switched my Kindle account to Amazon.es, I don't think I will be able to spend it. Oh well. I am going to contact support one of these days, when I have the time.

I got my e-mail from B&N, but I couldn't find an amount. (Sometimes it's hard to tell on this particular webmail thingie.) Then I looked up the credit by filling in the blanks on this page:
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/eboo...okup/379004173

Whoah. I got quite a bit more at B&N. Only one NYT best-seller. Like you, I bought lots of books that I thought were best-sellers, but maybe the books weren't on the list (like top 10) when I bought them.

It will be a long wait to hear from Apple as they chose not to settle. Apple is challenging the lawsuit in court.

They aren't paying out of pocket for their misdeeds (yet) but they are disbursing their customers' share of the settlement from their partners.

When/if Apple's penalties and restitution are defined there will be a second wave of payments. And if/when the class action suits are settled there will be a third.

This is going to drag on for a couple more years.
