Woo Hoo. $448.00 in Kindle Credits from Amazon

KathyPet — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 16:40:37 GMT

i read a lot and get all my books onto my Kindle App. Just got a e mail from Amazon telling me that as a result of a settlement with the attorney generals of some states concerning price fixing for e books I am getting $448.00 in Kindle credits to be used for future purchases.

Congratulations. That's great news!

I have one of the first Kindles and I never use it. (I read real hold in your hand books again when I read). Which reminds me, I really need to get back to reading more than I have been.

Well enjoy your reading!

I read a lot too..but I have the Kindle Unlimited as well as the free monthly book on Prime. I used to spend $30 a weekend lol...but the last few years have been unlimited.

That said this is the second credit I have been given. The first a few years ago..for $15 and today I just got $35!!

I will take it..

now the good thing is it can be used for anything on Amazon..so the $448 is a windfall LOL!

Enjoy!

I got 223.00, and I'm thrilled, this is the second time that I've received a credit from one of these suits. Happy reading📚📚📚

Wow. How many books did you buy to get such an impressive refund? Have fun spending those credits down. I rarely buy books for my kindle, borrow from library instead, and haven't received an email. Now I feel cheated somehow -- lol.

I've been buying Kindle books for 5 years, have never gotten any $$ back. Oh, well.

Time to go check my e-mail!

Wow, some of you do a lot of reading! I wonder if I have a refund coming my way? I remember getting a credit from Amazon before for Kindle books I bought (a number of years back). I wonder if this is something new?

I did receive another credit from Amazon maybe 3 years ago but it was not as big as this one. Same reason though!

That's great. I got $130 and spent it before I got the email saying it was coming.

For those that want to check, go into your accounts and under gift cards it will show a balance if you have one. I did get an email, but after the fact.

I'm not a reader but m husband is. He got $309.00. That will keep him busy and happy.

Mine was $80 and you don't have to spend the credit on books. You can use it for anything.

What I don't understand is that the email said that Apple had agreed to fund the credits. What does Apple have to do with it?

I also cashed coins in at Coinstar today and got an Amazon gift certificate so between that and the other credit, I'm thrilled!
