$13 for me and I’ve already spent most of it on Raising Steam. So thanks to the lawsuit for giving me a new Terry Pratchett.
$1.46 for me!
I was happy with my $4.36. Geez! Over a hundred dollars in credit? I would have had a field day!
Ah, crap. $8.53…and I get a LOT of books. Sigh.
I opted to get a check instead of store credit. I haven’t gotten them yet (as far as I know). I wonder when they’ll send them out? I have no idea how much is coming to me, but I’ve spent a lot on ebooks from both B&N and Apple.
$.73 for me. Shopping spree!
$5.84! I didn’t start purchasing ebooks in earnest until 2013.
68.41!!! woot!
thank you for the link, jsexton!
shopping…
Me too.
66 bucks from amazon. Not bad. I was figuring on twenty at the most. I may have a book problem.
$2.92.
I got nuttin’. But then I’ve only ever purchased a handful of e-books. I like them in theory, especially the part about not taking up shelf/closet space, but I’m just so much more comfortable with physical books.
Amazon should pay me, though, for having made it through that Connie Willis collection that was so badly scanned that it was almost unreadable. (For example, every *rn *combination got rendered as an m, so “burn” became “bum.”)
I got my letter! I got my letter! I got…$2.19.
Well, it’s more that I had before. Now I can get two 99¢ books and still have change.
$2.19 here. Apparently I bought 3 qualifying e-books that weren’t NYT Bestsellers.
So what *is *a “qualifying” book?
“There is no eBook settlement credit associated with this account.”
From the website:
New York Times bestsellers: $3.17 per E-book. These include titles that were New York Times bestsellers at any time, irrespective of when you purchased the E-book.
Non-New York Times bestsellers: $0.73 per E-book. These E-books include any titles that were not New York Times bestsellers.
Well, that would seem to cover the bases. But I’ve downloaded at least eight non-free books from Amazon over the past few years that were either New York Times bestsellers or not New York Times bestsellers, but I got the same message as Grestarian.
I dug around in the Amazon Kindle forum and found that the books have to be from one of the big publishers to qualify:
“To be eligible, you must have a U.S. billing address and must have purchased a Kindle book published by Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Penguin or Macmillan between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012.”
My tastes are obviously too indie.
