If you bought e-books on Amazon from Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan or Penguin between April 1, 2010 - May 21, 2012, your Amazon account has just been credited against the purchase of future e-books as part of a price-fixing lawsuit against those publishers (and Apple, which is a semi-separate suit).
You can check the amt by going to Amazon, signing in, and going to Kindle Book Store, where there should be a link.

I got a notice from amazon about it today. The credit also applies to print books. The credit starts with the next book the customer buys and is good for one year.

Amazon will remind you in 90 days if you haven't claimed in your refund.

It's not just Amazon, if you bought an ebook from any of the listed publishers during the listed time period, from any ebook retailer, you are entitled to a claim. Amazon is making it easiest it seems, by merely automatically crediting people's accounts so customers don't have to do anything. I've heard B&N's claims are a little more difficult and people need to actually make some sort of claim through them. I believe you can get information about how to go about getting your claim regardless of what retailer you bought through from here: https://ebooksagsettlements.com/
I got a credit of $10.95. I looked over my wish list of books and couldn't decide whether to spend it on several cheap books by unknown authors or one from an author I know and expect will enjoy. I'll wait and hope that something comes along that intrigues me.
I used my refund to buy Orange is the New Black by Piper Kiernan, and Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver. Both highly recommended; and I consider them a "gift". Still have a few dollars leftover also.
I have a nook - and they credited my account, no difficulty claiming it, they just added it to my account. It's either sad or awesome, but I ended up getting a credit of approximately $45.00. I'm happy right now.
I got almost $30 so I am very happy, especially since I had not heard of the lawsuit/settlement. It was a pleasant surprise.
