Something around $70. If it is applied automatically to things I buy then it’ll get redeemed. If I actually have to do something then it it will sit in whatever account it sits in. Just like all of the Amazon gift certificates over the years I was given. ---

I got 73 cents from B&N. I haven’t had a nook in years, though, as I went to a tablet instead of Kindle. I doubt I will use it. My wife? She got $228 in credit from Amazon! ---

I got my email from B&N saying that I’m ABOUT to get my money, but haven’t received anything yet. I don’t buy many NYTimes bestsellers though, so I’m not expecting much. ---

That said, and I know this is odd, but I wish I’d been given an opportunity to opt out. I don’t feel I was ripped off and therefore don’t deserve any compensation. I knew what price I was being charged for the books I bought and that was acceptable to me when I bought them. So Amazon may be been harmed by having to charge higher prices than they wanted but I wasn’t harmed in paying those prices. ---

Wife and I got like $10. We were surprised it was that much, as the vast majority of our ebook consumption comes from the public domain, the library, Humble Bundles, or indie authors.
