It depends on the book, and how much you paid. IIRC, from $1.35 for best sellers to .35 cents for regular editions. It isn't a refund from B&N, but from the three publishers that settled with the Department of Justice for price fixing. The book sellers are just the record keepers as to who bought what during the specified time period. So if you've bought anything from the three publishers from any ebook seller they'll send you a seperate notice. Some will automatically refund you the credit, and some won't. IIRC, at Sony you have to fill out one form or something to request the refund. So expect to get more notices if you buy from more than one source. [Ed. More discussion Here.]

Oh-h-h, thanks! I was confused because I knew that B&N wasn't part of this class-action stuff so I didn't understand why they would be giving me a refund. Now that you've explained it, I understand that the bookstores are acting as the distributors of the money. Thanks! |

Here's the URL for the claim page with more info. Here. (I got one from Sony, and one from Apple with the same URL. So I'm going to trust it.) For Sony I gave my ID off the email notice and it said it already had my name so just needed my address. Of course, any number of scammers may decide to send out notices to everyone to phish for info, so be careful. I'm disapointed that Sony is making it hard by making me fill out a form, when the other retailers are making it easy.

I got one too. BN's just said they would inform me of how much once the settlement was finalized. |
