Hot Damn WOW!!! I just checked my Amazon account and I got $377.07 ! Time to treat myself to some expensive newly released novels. I buy a LOT of e-books ::: edit :::my actual credit was $380.06, I bought a book this morning. ---

$224. I didn’t expect anything, so I’m very pleased. ---

$1.57. I obviously didn’t purchase enough ebooks from Amazon during the right time period. ---

Holy sh\*t! $321! (Apparently I read a lot of books.) **SpoilerVirgin** - you get some karma points for letting me know! 😃 ---

I got something like $75 from the last one also…not too shabby. All this corporate malfeasance is paying off for me 🙂 ---

It was described in my e-mail as an Apple eBooks Antitrust Settlement. I got Apple Pi. $3.14. ---

I’m waiting to hear from Barnes and Noble. I got an email today saying my settlement was coming. I bought a bunch of Nook books during that time. ---

I got almost $55. Since I’m the only one who buys e-books, I guess it’s mine. 😃 ---

Just under 5 bucks. I guess I’m a cheapskate - I rarely purchase ebooks (I mean, I purchase them over dead tree ones, but the library has most of what I want available for lending). ---

I got $21 and some change; spent ten of it almost immediately on the Hugh Glass story and can’t even remember the name of the damn book—it’s also a movie with DeCaprio or whatever his name is. I’ve had about four hours sleep out of the last twenty-four; I’m punchy at the moment. I babble when I’m tired. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > Hot Damn WOW!!! > > I just checked my Amazon account and I got $377.07 ! > > Time to treat myself to some expensive newly released novels. > > **I buy a LOT of e-books** You _must_. I got $172 and I buy a crap-load of e-books, I thought. I’m letting it sit for a while, as I’m working thru the Hodges books from King (borrowed from the library) and then I’ve got the new Charlaine Harris Midnight library book. I already bought the new Chequy book, so there’s nothing in my Wish List that I _could_ buy - it’s all pre-orders. ---

I got $145. But since it’s not restricted to using it to buy books, it may now be time for [Velcro](http://imgur.com/luhxJMl) to get the cat tree I’ve been eyeing for a while. Plus some books for me, who are we kidding? ---

I don’t even really know what it is about, but yes, I received $65.37. I guess that’s nice. First time I’ve ever personally received something (ANYTHING) worthwhile from a class action suit. Wonder how much it would have been without the legal fees. ---

I’ll probably apply mine to a new laptop. This one has been limping along for some time now after I rescued it from the BSOD. I can’t do any MS updates, as I’m afraid it will crash again, and I think the wi-fi may be failing.
