Got my price fixing settlement through Amazon today

I got a tiny settlement credit from Amazon this morning. I rarely bought books from the publishers involved. My bigger settlement should come through Sony, so I suspect I'll get screwed with that. It is interesting that Amazon was not a part of the price fixing coalition, but they are the first to pay me. Sony, one of the instigators, will probably be a PITA as far the settlement checks go. Just my opinion.

BTW, my residence is in Texas, USA, one of the states that sued.

eBooks Antitrust Settlement Information

Dear [edited],

Good news! You are entitled to a credit of $8.28 for some of your past Kindle book purchases. The credit results from legal settlements reached with publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, and Penguin in antitrust lawsuits filed by State Attorneys General and Class Plaintiffs about the price of eBooks.

You don't have to do anything to claim your credit, we have already added your credit to your Amazon account. We will automatically apply your available credit to your next purchase of a Kindle book or print book sold by Amazon.com, regardless of publisher. The credit applied to your purchase will appear in your order summary. If your account does not reflect this credit, please contact Amazon's customer service.

For more information about the settlements, please visit www.amazon.com/ebooksettlements

Your credit is valid for one year and will expire after 03/31/2015. If you have not used your credit, we will send you another email 90 days before it expires to remind you that it is still available.

Thanks for being a Kindle customer.
