AMAZON CUSTOMERS WIN BIG ON eBOOK SETTLEMENT

7 04 2014

AMAZON CUSTOMERS WIN BIG IN EBOOK SETTLEMENT
Amazon customers are the beneficiaries of the Apple ebook price-fixing settlement.
The settlement comes after a federal judge found Apple guilty of price-fixing ebooks in
conjunction with five publishers including Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster,
Macmillan, and Penguin. Although the credits are being applied to Amazon customers
accounts, the actual settlement is being paid by the publishers. To be eligible for the
credit, customers must have purchased a Kindle or print book through Amazon from one
of the five publishers between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012.
Note: Amazon credited Dan Poynter with $31.18
