Don't you love free money?
Amazon is rolling out cash from a settlement reached after book publishers were found to be purposely inflating e-book prices. The extra cash is to make up for those higher prices, and about $3 is expected to go out to customers who buy e-books regularly. Though some people have been getting a little more.
The company is sending out emails that should look something like this (if you qualified):
“Good news! You are entitled to a credit of $X.XX 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.
