Barnes & Noble e-book credit settlement

[yankebabie]

Back at the end of last year I got an e-mail saying that in the first half of 2013 I would be receiving another e-mail with a e-credit for books I had downloaded from Barnes and Noble due to some class action suit they had.

Just saw this old e-mail about this sitting in my inbox as I had forgotten all about it. Did anyone ever get this e-credit which was suppossed to come in the form of another e-mail. Wondering if I didn't get it yet or if I deleted the e-mail without reading it.

I got that email too. Still haven't heard anything more about it.

class action suits take a very long time. Look at the paper again and there should be a website address. go there and that should tell you where they are in the settlement.
I found this link which states something about a settlement id.

I already got the e-mail last year with my settlement ID number on it. But didn't know if I maybe got the second email with the PIN number for the credit and deleted it by accident or if nobody got it yet

You can read about the eBook settlement with the publishers here:

I don't recall hearing anything recently about when the money will come through. I know Amazon is supposed to just put a credit in your account and Barnes and Kobo will be emailing out a certificate or something. It just says "Spring 2013" but I think Penguin and MacMillan then settled the suit also and that might have delayed the payments further.

I hope I didn't miss my email.
