Any Amazon eBook (Kindle) readers out there?

The Apple eBooks Anti-Trust Settlement is out there. I got a really nice amount in a gift card in my amazon.com account. I am pretty psyched!



If you have been buying Amazon eBooks you might want to check your email account.

Apple settled with Amazon and B&N, other e-reader providers for the amount they undercut the other e-book sellers.
Not for a price on their own e-books.

Laz got $44.32 for 7 years worth of e-book purchases.

I don't buy that many ebooks since I can get them from the library. I was surprised to see anything.

the email would go to the email account that is tied to your amazon.com account.
